Eco-Drive 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
• 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.
