E. Handling Precautions
WARNING
Handling of Secondary Battery
j 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.
j Do not dispose of the secondary battery with ordinary garbage. Please follow the
instructions of your municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk
of fire or environmental contamination.
WARNING Only use the specified secondary battery
j The watch will not operate if another type of battery is attempted to be installed in the
watch. If an ordinary silver battery is forcibly installed in the watch and the watch is
charged, overcharging may occur that will eventually cause the battery to rupture.
This can result in the risk of the watch being damaged or injury to the wearer. Never
attempt to install a battery in the watch other than the specified secondary battery.
CAUTION Charging Precautions
j Avoid charging the watch at high temperatures (about 60°C /140°F or higher).
Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during charging can cause
discoloration or deformation of external components or a malfunction of the
components of the movement.
Examples:
• Charging by placing the watch too close to a light source that may become hot such
as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp.
• Charging by placing the watch on an automobile dashboard or other location that
can easily reach a high temperature.
j 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 (20in) away from the light source to prevent the watch from reaching a
high temperature.
