Special Care For This Solar Powered Watch - Citizen B740 Manual

6. SPECIAL CARE FOR THIS SOLAR POWERED
WATCH
<Always take care to charge the battery of the watch.>
• Mind that the battery power is apt to decline if you wear a jacket or a long-
sleeved shirt, because the watch is usually shaded by such clothes and the
battery is insufficiently charged as a result.
• Try to put the watch in a well-lighted place, as far as circumstances permit,
when you take it off. If you do, the watch will continue normal running.
CAUTION
— Notes on charging —
• Avoid charging in a hot place where the ambient temperature is +60°C/140°F
or more, because an extreme rise in temperature may cause a breakdown of
the watch.
Examples: Charging near a hot light source such as an incandescent lamp,
halogen lamp, etc.
Charging in a place that easily becomes hot such as on a car dashboard,
etc.

• When the watch is exposed to an incandescent lamp for charging, carefully
keep the watch 50 cm (20 in.) or more apart from it so as not to get the watch
hot.
WARNING
— Note on handling the secondary battery —
• The user should not remove the secondary battery from the watch. If you
remove the battery from the watch for unavoidable reasons, be sure to keep it
outside the reach of a child to prevent him/her from swallowing it.
• If a child swallows the secondary battery by mistake, immediately consult a
doctor for treatment.
WARNING
— Use the specified secondary battery only —
• Never use any battery other than the specified secondary battery. This watch
is so designed that it does not run with any battery other than the specified
secondary battery. However, if another battery such as a mercury battery for
example, is forcibly set in the watch and it is charged, the battery will not only
be overcharged and burst, but if worst comes to worst, it will resultingly
damage the watch and injure the user and other people.
To repeat the warning, use the specified secondary battery only without fail
whenever the secondary battery needs replacement.
