Step 2
PLACE WATCH IN THE CASE HOLDING VISE


Clamp the watch in the case holding vise by opening the two halves of the block, placing the watch in the middle and gently release or tighten the two halves so that they hold the watch firmly.

If the watchband does not unbuckle or unclasp, separate the bank by pressing down with a pointed to remove the spring loaded pin that connects the bank to the clasp or watch.

Step 3 REMOVE THE BACK


Most case backs are napped on and can be removed by by inserting a blade into the appropriate notch of the case or case back and twisting the handle of the tool to pop off the back.

 

When no groove is provided, be sure a sharp knife is inserted into the narrow slot between the back and the case. Once the knife is firmly in the groove, a slight twist of the knife handle will pop off the back.

IMPORTANT: Before removing battery(s), be sure to note which side is up. You will have to put the new battery in the exactly same way. In some watches, the battery is held in by small metal clips. If so, carefully follow the directions to the right for removing the various types of clips. Use plastic tweezers to remove battery(s).

Step 4 REMOVE THE BATTERY

 

 

 

SPRING CLIP:
Lift up one end of the metal clip with the fine-point tweezers. It will come out. Then remove the battery.

SCREW-ON CLIP: Remove the screws with the small screwdriver. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THEM! CAUTION:CLIP MAY SPRING OUT. MAINTAIN PRESSURE OR SCREW MAY BE EJECTED.

PERMANENT CLIP:
Lift the outside edge of the battery out of its compartment with the small screwdriver.


Step 5 TEST THE BATTERIES

See the battery tester for operating instructions. IMPORTANT:If the watch has two batteries and only one tests “replace”, replace both batteries. If both batteries test “good”, there is something wrong with the watch. Refer it to a professional watchmaker


Step 6
LOCATE REPLACEMENT BATTERY

 

Read the number on the old battery and replace with the same or corresponding Energizer® Watch Battery. Refer to the current Energizer® Watch/Electronic Battery Replacement Guide or the Energizer® battery size checker to find the correct Energizer® battery type number.

Step 7
CLEAN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT


Check the battery compartment for dirt and remove it. If you find corrosion, refer watch to a professional watchmaker.


IMPORTANT: Be sure to test the new battery before installing. For tester setting, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use plastic tweezers to install the new Energizer® battery(s) with the same side up as the one(s) you replaced. Remember, the watch won’t work if the battery(s) are put in wrong.


Step 8
INSTALL THE NEW ENERGIZER® BATTERY

SPRING CLIP:

Step 9 CLOSE THE WATCH

IMPORTANT:If there is a rubber sealing gasket in the back of the watch, make sure it is lined up properly before closing back. Snap a metal adapter that is slightly smaller than the watch back into the upper jaw of the press. Place the support plate into the bottom of the press and fit a plastic ring adapter large enough to hold the watch on the support plate. Place the watch face down into the plastic ring adapter and press gently on handle until watch back snaps into place.
