Solar-Powered Watch Handling Precautions; Use Only The Specified Battery - Citizen 8651 Manual

7. 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 that it will continue to run properly.
CAUTION
Recharging Precautions
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C 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 50cm 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.

<Replacement of Rechargeable Cell>
• Because the watch uses a rechargeable cell, you do not need periodical cell replacement.
However, power consumption may increase after using for an extended period of time
due to deterioration, and the power may run out earlier than expected. To avoid this, we
recommend that you have your watch inspected (Charge basis) periodically.
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.
