POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH English 5 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, does not require any periodical replacement. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source. 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 two additional days of power reserve. If you wear the watch every day for 12 hours for a month, for example, two additional months of power will be reserved. Full charge When the watch is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately 5 months. The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease, however, varies depending on the environment and condition of use. * Be careful not to press button B by mistake while the stopwatch is measuring. * Do not press buttons A and B at the same time, nor press one of the two buttons while keeping the other pressed. 10 TACHYMETER (for models with tachymeter scale) To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle 1 Use English the stopwatch to determine how many seconds it takes to go 1 km or 1 mile. Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average speed per hour. Ex. 1 7 0 65 60 TACHYM ETE R 50 0 40 0 2 STOPWATCH second hand: 40 seconds 75 300 250 80 200 180 90 16 "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile) = 90 km/h or mph * Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds. Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0. 5 km or miles and STOPWATCH second hand indicates "90" on tachymeter scale: "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph "90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 0. 5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph 0 14 0 120 10 0 Tachymeter scale: "90" 11 English To measure the hourly rate of operation Ex. 1 65 60 TACHYM ETE R 1 Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete 1 job. Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average number of jobs accomplished per hour. 7 0 50 0 2 STOPWATCH second hand: 20 seconds 40 0 75 300 250 80 200 180 90 16 "180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job = 180 jobs/hour Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds: "180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour 12 0 14 0 120 10 0 Tachymeter scale: "180" NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH English HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH To charge the KINETIC E. S. U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side rhythmically at a rate of twice a second, 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. [. . . ] 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. When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. 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 counterclockwise until the desired date appears. English 14 STOPWATCH You may feel that the buttons of the watch are harder to press compared with those of conventional watches. [. . . ]
