[. . . ] It generates the electric energy to power the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E. S. U. ), which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type batteries. 7S36 is an enhanced model of the KINETIC watches and features the power save and time relay functions to keep the watch operating for up to four years once it is fully charged, even if it is left unused and no charging is done. s Power save function If the watch is left unused for 3 days, the hands stop automatically to conserve the stored electric energy. s Time relay function Though the hands stop, the builtin IC continues to keep the time. To use the watch again, swinging it several times will awaken it. The hands will move quickly to indicate the current time, and resume normal operation. 4 POWER SAVE FUNCTION q If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed. English q Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC continues to compute the correct time. q More specifically, the watch measures the time during which the generating system remains inactive and no charging is done. The power save function is activated when such time period extends to approximately 72 hours without a break. If the watch senses movement of the oscillating weight before the completion of 72 hours, the measurement of the inactive time is stopped and reset to "0". q If the watch is kept in a situation where movement repeatedly causes the hands to keep moving and the power save function is prevented from being activated without additional charge, the energy will be consumed in approximately 6 months after the watch is fully charged. 5 English Manual power save function The power save function can be activated manually. If you decide not to use the watch for a long time, use this function to further conserve energy. * While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function cannot be activated manually. In this case, charge the watch referring to "ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION", and then, follow the procedure below. CROWN Pull out to the first click. w * Pull out and push in within one second. Note: If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely. Caution: Do not pull out the crown to the second click while the power save function is in operation. Otherwise, it is turned off, and the time data retained inside the watch will be erased, thus disabling the time relay function. 6 Push in to the normal position. * The hands will stop as the power save function is activated. TIME RELAY FUNCTION q While the power save function is working, the built-in IC continues to compute the time though the hands have stopped. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely. If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the date and then reset the correct time. When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the date changes once in 24 hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A. M. If the date changes, the time is set for the A. M. If the date does not 10 change, the time is set for the P. M. When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute. It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months. In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it until the desired date appears. English 11 English ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION The watch has been charged fully at the factory, and the power save function will keep the built-in IC computing the time for up to four years. [. . . ] The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result. 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. English 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 E. S. U. [. . . ]
