D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING

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.

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.
