Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch handling precautions
<Always Make Sure to Recharge Frequently>
• Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch may stop as a
result of being covered by your sleeve and blocked from the light.
• When you take off the watch, try to place it in as bright a location
as possible. This will ensure optimal operation.
CAUTION
Recharging Precautions
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about
60°C/140°F or higher) as doing so may cause the movement
to malfunction.
Examples:
•
Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates a
large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp.
* When charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to
leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inch) or more between the lamp and
the watch to avoid exposing the watch to excessive heat.
• Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may
become extremely high such as on the dashboard of a vehicle.
Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch handling precautions
<Replacement of Rechargeable Cell>
• This watch utilizes a special rechargeable cell that does not require regular replacement.
However power consumption may increase after using the watch for a number of years due to
wear of internal components and deterioration of oils. This may cause stored power to be depleted
at a faster rate. For optimal performance, we recommend having your watch inspected (chargeable
to the owner) by an Authorized Service center to ensure operation is within factory specifications.
WARNING
Handling of Rechargeable Cell
• The rechargeable cell should never be removed from the watch.
If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the rechargeable cell from the watch, keep
out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing.
If the rechargeable cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
•
Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage. Please follow the instructions of your
municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or environmental contamination.
WARNING
Use Only the Specified Battery
• Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in this watch.
Although the watch structure is designed so that it will not operate when another type of battery
is installed, if a silver battery or other type of battery is installed in the watch and the watch is
recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture.
This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer.
When replacing the rechargeable cell, always make sure to use the designated rechargeable cell.
