Q17 What should I be careful about when removing the battery(ies) and other parts from my watch/clock?

If you have taken the battery and/or parts (band pin, screw, etc.,) out of your watch, store them out of the reach of small children because there is a danger of accidental swallowing.

If you have taken out the small battery(ies) (button type, coin type, size RO3, size R1, etc.,) used in your clock and/or its attachments (peg, screw, etc.), store them out of the reach of small children because there is a danger of accidental swallowing.

In the event of their swallowing, immediately consult your physician.

When disposing of used-up batteries, be sure to observe the following:

Dispose of dry batteries (alkaline or manganese) and coin-type lithium batteries as general nonflammables. For disposal, follow the laws and regulations of your local community.

When disposing of coin-type lithium batteries, insulate the positive and negative terminals with cellophane tape or the like because the batteries, even if used up, may produce heat, catch fire, or explode when short-circuited.

In all cases, read the instruction manual carefully, and use your watch/clock according to the correct handling methods.
