Follow these steps carefully when replacing or installing a new battery in your device. Always refer to your device's specific instruction manual for detailed battery replacement procedures.

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, dry, and well-lit area. Use non-metallic tweezers to handle the battery to avoid short-circuiting or damaging the battery.
2. Open Device Battery Compartment: Carefully open the battery compartment of your watch or electronic device. This often requires a small screwdriver or a specialized tool.
3. Remove Old Battery (if applicable): If replacing an old battery, gently remove it. Note its orientation (positive (+) and negative (-) terminals) before removal.
4. Clean Contacts: Lightly wipe the battery contacts in the device with a dry, clean cloth to ensure good electrical connection.
5. Insert New Battery: Insert the new Maxell SR626SW battery with the correct polarity. The positive (+) side is usually marked on the battery and should align with the positive terminal in the device.
6. Secure Compartment: Close the battery compartment securely.
7. Test Device: Verify that your device is functioning correctly.

Important: Do not force the battery into the compartment. If it does not fit easily, recheck the battery size and orientation.

Once correctly installed, the Maxell SR626SW battery will provide consistent and stable power to your compatible electronic device. These silver oxide batteries are known for their stable discharge voltage, which is crucial for devices requiring precise power delivery, such as watches.

4. Care and Storage

• Storage: Store unused batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing batteries loosely or with metal objects, which can cause short circuits.
• Handling: Handle batteries with clean, dry hands. Avoid touching the battery terminals with bare fingers, as oils from the skin can affect conductivity.
• Disposal: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not throw batteries into fire or incinerate them. Many communities offer battery recycling programs.
• Avoid Damage: Do not puncture, deform, or disassemble the battery.

5. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning after battery installation, consider the following:

• Incorrect Polarity: Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
• Poor Contact: Check if the battery is seated properly and making firm contact with the device's terminals. Clean contacts if necessary.
• Device Malfunction: If the battery is correctly installed and the device still does not work, the issue may lie with the device itself, not the battery.
• Battery Condition: Although new, ensure the battery is not damaged or depleted.
