SLE is an analogue quartz watch equipped with an Automatic Generating System developed by SEIKO. It generates the electric energy to power the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E. S. U. ), which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type batteries. HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH 1 2 3 Swing the watch from side to side approximately 500 times. * Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second. * 500 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. 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. 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. 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. If you find the second hand moving at two-second intervals after swinging the watch approximately 500 times, swing it further until the second hand moves at the normal one-second intervals. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result. It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist. Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion. POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH Precaution on see-through case-back models: If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct sunlight or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the KINETIC E. S. U. [. . . ] Turn the hands past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A. M. 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. [. . . ]
