[. . . ] Even if the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical energy, the calendar can be manually adjusted by simple procedures. CAUTION The movement of your arm while the watch is worn generates electrical energy to power the watch. Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion. It is recommended that the watch be worn on your wrist daily for at least 10 hours. THE KINETIC E. S. U. is an abbreviation for KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT, which is the name of the power source employed in the KINETIC movements. 5 English DISPLAY AND BUTTON OPERATION Minute hand [CAL. 7D46] Big calendar Hour hand Year indicator Second hand Month indicator Second click position: time settings Counterclockwise (Downward) 24-hour indicator Minute hand Clockwise (Upward) First click position: calendar adjustment Hour hand Year indicator Second hand Month indicator Second click position: time settings Counterclockwise (Downward) 24-hour indicator Clockwise (Upward) First click position: calendar adjustment [CAL.

BEFORE INITIAL USE English POWER SAVE FUNCTION This watch is powered by electrical energy generated and stored by the built-in Automatic Generating System. The watch also features the "power save function, " which automatically stops the hands from moving when the watch is not in use for a certain period of time to minimize the electrical energy consumption. When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC continues to calculate the time and calendar. When the watch is in power save mode, swinging the watch several times will activate the "time relay function, " which automatically resets the watch hands to the correct time that has been retained inside the watch. Do not pull the crown out to the second click position while the watch is in power save mode. This will cancel the power save function causing the time data retained in the watch to be erased. Do not leave the watch with its crown being at the second click position, as the watch consumes greater energy than it uses while it is in power save mode. <Remarks on Power Save Function> When the watch is left untouched for approximately 24 hours (approximately one day), the power save function is automatically activated. While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function cannot be activated. 7 English When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24hour hands will stop moving. While the watch is in power save mode, the calendar continues to function normally. (Refer to " IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 18. ) 11 HOW TO SET THE TIME AND CALENDAR English If there is any time difference between the factory default time settings and the local time in your area, reset the time and calendar before initially using the watch after purchase. In a case that the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical energy, recharge the watch until the second hand resumes the normal one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar. (Refer to "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 18. ) HOW TO SET THE TIME 1. The second hand will be stopping on the spot. If your watch has a screw lock type crown, unscrew the crown first, and then pull it out to the second click. To set the second hand exactly, pull out the crown to the second click at a moment the second hand is pointing to the 12 o'clock (" 0 " second) position. [Cal. SLT SUZ] 12 Second click position Original position Second click position Original position 2. Turn the crown to set the time. English Remember to check the 24-hour indicator to correctly set AM/PM. To set the time accurately, advance the minute hand 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the correct time, and then turn it back to the exact time. 3. Push the crown back into the original position. The watch immediately starts ticking. To set the second hand exactly, push the crown back into the original position in accordance with a time signal. CAUTION Avoid setting the time or calendar at a time between 23:00 and 1:00. If you adjust the time or calendar at a time between 23:00 and 1:00, and the date is incorrectly advanced or delayed one day, readjust the watch avoiding the above period of time. While the watch runs in normal operation, the date changes during the time between 23:30 and 0:30. 13 HOW TO SET THE PERPETUAL CALENDAR English Date, month and year are interlocked on the perpetual calendar. [. . . ] As a guideline, 200 swings will generate the power to run the watch for approximately one day. 19 POWER RESERVE GUIDELINES FOR THE KINETIC E. S. U. English Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accumulate power to run the watch for approximately one and a half additional days. As a general guideline, if you wear the watch every day for 12 hours over a period of a week, the power to run the watch for approximately ten days will be additionally secured. If the watch enters the power save mode, this amount of energy will keep the watch running for approximately one month and a half. POWER SOURCE (KINETIC E. S. U. ) This watch requires no periodic battery replacement as it is powered by the exclusive secondary battery, which is completely different from conventional batteries for watches. This exclusive secondary battery is an environmentally friendly, clean energy storage device. CAUTION Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the KINETIC E. S. U. , which can generate heat that can cause bursting or ignition. 20 SPECIFICATIONS English 1 2 3 4 Frequency of crystal oscillator . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [. . . ]
