4. Installation

Replacing a watch battery, especially in kinetic or solar models, often requires specialized tools and knowledge. Incorrect installation can damage the watch movement or the new battery. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician.

General Steps (for reference only; professional installation advised):

1. Prepare Workspace: Ensure a clean, well-lit, and static-free environment. Use non-magnetic tools.
2. Open Watch Case: Carefully open the watch case back using the appropriate tool (e.g., case back opener, pry tool).
3. Locate Old Battery: Identify the existing battery. Note its orientation (positive/negative terminals).
4. Remove Old Battery: Gently unclip or remove any retaining bar/clip holding the battery in place. Use plastic tweezers to avoid short-circuiting.
5. Insert New Battery: Place the new PULADU MT1620 battery into the compartment, ensuring the correct orientation. Do not force it.
6. Secure Battery: Re-secure any retaining clips or bars.
7. Close Watch Case: Carefully close and seal the watch case back, ensuring water resistance (if applicable) is maintained.
8. Test Watch: Check if the watch is functioning correctly.

5. Operation

Once installed, the MT1620 battery functions as the power reservoir for your kinetic or solar-powered watch. For kinetic watches, regular wrist movement charges the battery. For solar watches, exposure to light (natural or artificial) recharges it. Ensure your watch receives adequate movement or light exposure to maintain a full charge and accurate timekeeping.

• Kinetic Watches: Wear the watch regularly or use a watch winder to keep it charged.
• Solar Watches: Expose the watch dial to light for several hours periodically, especially if it has been stored in darkness.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Battery Care:

• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery using external chargers not designed for this specific type.
• Keep the battery terminals clean and free from dirt or corrosion.

Storage:

If storing unused batteries, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Avoid storing batteries with metal objects that could cause a short circuit.

7. Troubleshooting

If your watch is not functioning correctly after battery replacement, consider the following:

• Incorrect Installation: Double-check that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity and securely fastened.
• Insufficient Charge: For kinetic/solar watches, ensure the watch has received adequate movement or light exposure to build up a charge. Some watches may require several hours or even days to fully charge and begin functioning normally after a battery change.
• Watch Movement Issue: The problem might not be the battery. The watch movement itself could require servicing or repair.
• Battery Contact: Ensure the battery makes proper contact with the watch's terminals. Sometimes, a slight adjustment of the contact spring is needed.

If issues persist, consult a professional watch repair service.

8. Safety Information

• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Coin cell batteries can be swallowed and cause serious injury or death. Seek immediate medical attention if ingested.
• Do Not Disassemble or Incinerate: Disassembling or incinerating batteries can lead to explosion, fire, or leakage of hazardous materials.
• Avoid Short Circuits: Do not allow metal objects to come into contact with both terminals of the battery simultaneously.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose of them in household waste. Many retailers offer battery recycling programs.
• Handle with Care: Avoid touching the battery terminals with bare hands to prevent transferring oils or dirt, which can affect performance. Use plastic tweezers or gloves.

9. Warranty and Support

For information regarding product warranty or technical support, please refer to the packaging or contact the retailer from whom you purchased the PULADU MT1620 battery. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claims.
