In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E. S. U. sufficiently. * The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals. English INSTANT-START FUNCTION When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few swings. This function is available as long as the watch has been stopped for less than a year. * When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals. Swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E. S. U. by referring to "NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE". * After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that it will be charged further. * The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals. REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E. S. U. The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC E. S. U. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result. Some models are equipped with an instant-start function, and the watch may start operating after it is swung several times. For details, see "INSTANT-START FUNCTION". It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist. Wear the watch 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. POWER RESERVE INDICATOR The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch keeps operating without needing to be charged. 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. Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC E. S. U. , the second hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed. 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 KINETIC E. S. U. [. . . ] BEFORE DIVING Do not use the watch for saturation diving using helium gas . To measure the elasped time while you are underwater, always use the rotating bezel. Check that: · the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. · the crown is locked tightly in place. [. . . ]
