| Hand Sizes | Minute hand hole: 110, second hand hole: 20 – use matching hands |
| Battery Caution | Use 371 / SR920SW battery; do not use batteries with mismatched voltage |
| New Movement Testing | If the new movement runs inaccurately, first check for hand friction against the crystal or hand interference |

| Aspect | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Battery Replacement | Replace battery every 2-3 years; inspect gasket condition at the same time |

| Cleaning | Use dust blower to clean movement surface; avoid liquid cleaners |
| Replacement Criteria | If the movement runs inaccurately or stops with a good battery, replace the movement entirely |
| Storage | Store unused movements in a cool, dry place away from moisture |
