Calibre number of your watch Please check the case back of your watch to find its calibre number inscribed on it. As illustrated below, the calibre number of your watch is the 4-digit number to the left of the hyphen mark. This booklet includes the instructions for the following watch calibre numbers: Cal. [. . . ] Set the time and calendar, and put on the watch. * We recommend that the watch be worn daily for at least 10 hours. * Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion. To charge the capacitor efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor. When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out sound, which is not a malfunction. Provided with a quick-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung several times. For details, see "QUICK-START FUNCTION" on page 19.

When the watch stops completely, 100 swings will start the watch and the second hand will move at one-second intervals. 5M42/5M43) without recharging the capacitor. To allow easy reading of the second hand, we recommend that the button be pressed when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position. When the second hand points to "LO", the capacitor has a power reserve of between 1 and 2 days (Cal. You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so a third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the button again. When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator does not function. See the next section, which explains the Energy Depletion Forewarning Function. Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the capacitor, the second hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check after putting the watch on your wrist. Precaution on see-through case-back models: If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct sunlight or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the capacitor. This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light. 18 English ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION When the energy stored in the capacitor is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second intervals, indicating that the watch needs recharging and will run down in approximately 3 hours (Cal. [. . . ] We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver's watch for scuba diving. English 25 * Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the crown is pushed in completely. Do not operate the crown and button when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely. * When taking a shower with a water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with a water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following: · Do not operate the crown and button when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
