6. Solar-Powered Watch Handling
Precautions
[Try to keep the watch charged at all times.]
Please note that if you frequently wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become
insufficiently charged because of being hidden and not exposed to light. When you take
the watch off, try to place in as bright a location as possible so that it will always be
charged and continue to run properly at all times.
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 a
malfunction.
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.
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.
