[. . . ] (See "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" below. ) * If you find either of the following after swinging the watch approximately 50 times, you can decide that the start-up indicator has worked and that the watch has started operating. 2) The minute hand has advanced more than 5 minutes from where it was. * While the watch is operating, the minute hand will not move quickly even if the watch is swung for charging. If you use the watch only occasionally, it is likely that you will find the watch running down when you decide to use it. Before wearing the watch, be sure to charge it sufficiently following the procedure in "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH". 6 Even after you find the start-up indicator activated, the watch may run down shortly. Swing the watch further to charge the watch sufficiently before wearing it. 6 If you do not have enough time to do so, be sure to keep it on your wrist. 6 At the end of a day, if you intend to use the watch again the next day, swing it 150 to 200 times before taking it off. This will reserve approximately 12 hours of power. HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E. S. U. q Precaution Do not keep the watch with the crown pulled out to stop the hands, intending to save the energy stored in the KINETIC E. S. U. By doing so, a large amount of current flows through the built-in IC, and therefore, pulling out the crown will not save the energy but consume more energy than usual. 1 Swing the watch from side to side approximately 50 times. * Before swinging the watch, check and remember where the minute hand is so that you can tell if the start-up indicator has worked or not. First, check that the crown is at the normal position. * If the crown is pulled out and the watch is swung, the start-up indicator will not work even if the watch starts operating. * Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second. * No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor. [. . . ] 2 hands (hour and minute hands) Approximately 3 months * The specifications are subject to change without prior notice for product improvement. POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH q The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E. S. U. ). It is a power source completely different from conventional batteries for watches, and therefore, this watch does not require battery replacement. q For other items of the specifications of the watch, see "SPECIFICATIONS" in the attached Worldwide Guarantee and Instruction Booklet. * Please note that Cal. 1M20 is not equipped with an instant-start function.
