C. *, Montreal* Caracas, Santiago (Chile)* Rio de Janeiro*, Buenos Aires* NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH English HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH To charge the KINETIC electricity storage unit 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 a sound, which is not a malfunction. The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result. Provided with an instant-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung several times. For details, see "INSTANT-START FUNCTION" on page 11. 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. To allow easy reading of the second hand, press the button when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position. 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 electricity storage unit, the second hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check after putting the watch on your wrist. 8 The cities marked with "*" (asterisk) use daylight saving time (summer time). 9 Remarks on the reserve power of the KINETIC electricity storage unit: Even while the second hand is stopped by pulling out the crown, current continues being consumed by the built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown will not save the energy stored in the KINETIC electricity storage unit. 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 electricity storage unit. This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light. TIME DIFFERENCES English English The time differences and the use of daylight saving time (summer time) may change in some areas or countries when they are so decided by the countries concerned. INSTANT-START FUNCTION When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few swings.
