CAUTION : Handling of Secondary Battery
• Never attempt to remove the secondary battery from the watch. If the secondary battery
must unavoidably be removed, store it out of the reach of small children to prevent
accidental swallowing.
• If the secondary battery should happen to be swallowed, consult a physician immediately
and seek medical attention.
CAUTION : Only Use the Specified Secondary Battery
• Never use an secondary battery other than the genuine secondary battery used in this
watch. Even if another type of secondary battery is installed in the watch, the watch
structure does not permit its operation. In cases in which a different secondary battery
such as a silver battery is forcibly installed in the watch and charged, overcharging may
occur that will eventually cause the secondary battery to rupture. This can result in the
risk of the watch being damaged or injury to the wearer. When the secondary battery is
replaced, always make sure to use the specified secondary battery.
Replacing the Secondary Battery
• Unlike ordinary silver batterys, the secondary battery used in this watch does not have to
be periodically replaced due to repeated charging and discharging.

9. Solar Powered Watch Handling Precautions
CAUTION : Charging Precautions
• Avoid charging the watch at high temperatures (about 60°C / 140°F or higher) since
allowing the watch to reach a high temperature during charging can cause
deformation or discoloration of the dial, solar cell and other external components as
well as a malfunction of mechanical components.
Examples: Charging by placing the watch too close to a light source that may
become hot such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp, or charging
by placing the watch on an automobile dashboard that can easily reach a
high temperature.
• When charging the watch with an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or other light
source that may reach a high temperature, always make sure to place the watch at
least 50 cm (20 in) away from the light source to prevent the watch from reaching a
high temperature.
