12. Replacing the Secondary Battery
The secondary battery does not need to be replaced regularly as with conventional silver
oxide watches.
If the charge level does not reach Level 3 even when the watch is charged according to
“9. General Reference for Charging Times”, consult the shop where you purchased the
watch or Citizen Service Center.
• When charging with incandescent lighting, halogen lamps, or other lighting sources
that easily become hot, place the watch at least 50 cm (20 in) away from the source to
avoid overheating.
WARNING
Handling of Secondary Battery
• Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch yourself, unless unavoidable.
• If you must remove the battery, store it out of reach of children to avoid accidental
ingestion.
• If the secondary battery is ingested, consult a doctor immediately.
• If the secondary battery needs to be replaced, refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
