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. 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. 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. When the date is set by turning the hands, however, it may change gradually between 2:00 a. m. Turn the hands past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A. 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. q 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 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. q If the stopwatch continues to be used while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the watch will run down within 1 to 2 hours. q When using the stopwatch for the first time after the watch has been charged to start operation, be sure to reset the stopwatch even if the STOPWATCH hands are at "0" position. 13 English 14 q While the stopwatch is measuring, pressing button A will not reset the stopwatch. [. . . ] q Do not press buttons A and B at the same time, nor press one of the two buttons while keeping the other pressed. Otherwise, a malfunction will result.
