[. . . ] * 200 swings will start the watch and the second hand will move at one-second intervals. Swing the watch approximately 200 times further to reserve one day of power. Set the time/calendar and put on the watch. 4 POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH English 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 Power reserve guidelines for the KINETIC E. S. U. You can estimate the power reserve accumulated in the KINETIC E. S. U. from the manner in which you wear the watch. Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accumulate approximately four additional days of power reserve. If you wear the watch every day for 12 hours a day over a week, for example, the watch will be fully charged. q Full charge When the watch is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately 1 month. q Precautions for those only wearing the watch occasionally 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". 5 English REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E. S. U. q Do not pull the crown out to the second click with the intention of stopping the second hand just to save energy. By doing so, a large amount of current flows through the built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown to the second click will not save energy but, in fact, consume more energy than usual. CAUTION Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the KINETIC E. S. U. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire. ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION q When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal onesecond intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours. * If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals while the stopwatch is in use, the watch will run down in approximately 1 to 2 hours assuming the stopwatch remains in use. In this case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E. S. U. 6 HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN English q To unscrew the crown: Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting) Screwed-in position Unscrewed position q To screw in the crown: With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it. « 7 English TIME/CALENDAR SETTING Second hand Minute hand Date « a b c « d Hour hand 8 a. d. Screwed-in position Unscrewed position First click Second click CROWN Unscrew and pull out to the first click. q If the stopwatch continues to be used after the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals, the movement of the stopwatch hands may become unstable immediately before the watch stops completely. TIME/CALENDAR SETTING q Do not set the date between 0:00 a. m. If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first advance the time ahead of 2:00 a. m. , set the date and then reset the correct time. q The date changes instantly when the hands move past the 12 o'clock marker at midnight. When the date is set by turning the hands, however, it may change gradually between 2:00 a. m. q When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the calendar 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 change, the time is set for the P. M. q 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. q When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
