D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING
WW
Notes on Use
To maintain optimal performance, be sure to expose your watch to light regularly.
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, your watch may be hidden from light and
may result in insufficient charging. As such, additional exposure to light may be
necessary.
• When you take your watch off, be sure to place it in as bright an area as possible.
WW
Notes on recharging
• Avoid recharging your watch in areas of high temperatures (over about 60 °C /
140 °F), otherwise the sensitive components of the watch may become damaged.
(e.g.) Incandescent lights generate heat sufficient to damage your watch. Be sure to
keep the watch at least 50cm (20inches) away from the bulb so no damage
occurs. We do not recommend the use of Halogen bulbs for recharging.
Never place your watch on the dashboard or rear deck of a vehicle as the heat
generated in these areas can damage your watch.
E. ABOUT THE ENERGY STRAGE CELL
Unlike ordinary watches, the special energy storage cell used in your watch does
not need regular replacement. This is a clean energy cell that will last the life of
the watch.
CAUTION:
The energy cell should last the life of the watch. Never allow anyone other than an
Authorized Service Center to replace this cell. The movement is designed to operate
with only the original energy storage cell. If an alternate cell is installed, such as a
conventional battery, the battery may become overcharged resulting in damage to the
movement and/or bursting of the cell, which could cause injury to the user.
