[. . . ] 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.

TIPS ON READING THE HANDS q The STOPWATCH minute hand turns a full circle in 30 minutes. The indicated scale, therefore, should be read differently depending on the position of the STOPWATCH hour hand. ) When the STOPWATCH minute hand indicates "10": Measured time is either "10 minutes" or "40 minutes". Check the position of the STOPWATCH hour hand to decide which to choose. "1 hour and 10 minutes" (The hour hand is nearer to the 1-hour marker. ) "1 hour and 40 minutes" (The hour hand is nearer to the 2-hour marker. ) 9 Ex. ) 1 hour 55 minutes 50 seconds 9 English x STOPWATCH second hand reading: The STOPWATCH second hand almost points to "51" but should be read as "50", as the STOPWATCH 1/10 second hand indicates "9". x STOPWATCH minute hand reading: The STOPWATCH minute hand almost points to "26" but should be read as "55", as the measured seconds are "50" and the STOPWATCH hour hand is nearer to the 2-hour marker (refer to the first description in this section). STOPWATCH 1/10 second hand STOPWATCH hour hand 10 STOPWATCH OPERATION q Before using the stopwatch, be sure to reset the STOPWATCH hands to "0" position. 1) Check that the watch is operating normally. * If the watch has stopped completely or if the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, charge the watch sufficiently. (See "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH") English 2) x If the STOPWATCH hands are moving, press button B to stop the measurement and then press button A to reset the STOPWATCH hands to "0" position. If the STOPWATCH hands have stopped moving, press button B more than once to stop the measurement and then press button A to reset the STOPWATCH hands to "0" position. x Standard measurement A B B START B STOP A RESET w Accumulated elapsed time measurement w B START B STOP B ···· B STOP A RESET 11 w w w RESTART * Restart and stop of the stopwatch can be repeated by pressing button B. w NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH English 12 HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH q To charge the KINETIC E. S. U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm. q No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor. q 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. [. . . ] In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it counterclockwise until the desired date appears. English STOPWATCH q You may feel that the buttons of the watch are harder to press compared with those of conventional watches. This is due to the special construction needed for the stopwatch function, and, therefore, is not a malfunction. q While the stopwatch is being used, the watch consumes 10 times the amount of energy required by time indication alone. Before using the stopwatch, therefore, make sure that the watch is charged sufficiently. [. . . ]
