Product Overview

Installation Instructions

Replacing a watch battery requires care and precision. If you are unsure, consult a professional watch technician.

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Work on a clean, well-lit surface. Use a soft cloth or mat to prevent scratching your watch.
2. Open the Watch Case: Depending on your watch model, you may need a specialized tool to open the case back. This could be a case back opener for screw-on backs or a thin blade for snap-on backs. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the case or internal components.
3. Locate the Old Battery: Once the case is open, identify the existing battery. Note its orientation (which side is facing up).
4. Remove the Old Battery: Carefully use non-metallic tweezers or a small screwdriver to gently pry out the old battery. Avoid touching the watch's internal mechanisms.
5. Insert the New Battery: Place the new Energizer 377 battery into the battery compartment, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) matches the original battery's orientation. The positive (+) side is typically marked on the battery and should face upwards.
6. Test the Watch: Before closing the case, check if the watch is functioning correctly (e.g., hands moving, digital display active).
7. Close the Watch Case: Carefully reattach the case back, ensuring it is securely sealed to maintain water resistance (if applicable).

Usage and Storage

Energizer 377 batteries are designed for single use and are not rechargeable. For optimal performance and safety, follow these guidelines:

• Use batteries only in devices specified by the manufacturer.
• Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
• Keep batteries in their original packaging to prevent short-circuiting.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat or direct sunlight.

Maintenance

These batteries require no maintenance. However, proper handling and storage are crucial for their longevity and safety.

• Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations. Many communities offer battery recycling programs.

Troubleshooting

If your device does not function after installing a new battery, consider the following:

• Incorrect Polarity: Double-check that the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
• Improper Contact: Ensure the battery is seated firmly in its compartment and that the contact points are clean and free of debris or corrosion.
• Device Issue: The problem might not be the battery. The device itself may have a malfunction.
