[. . . ] When the watch is left untouched in power save mode and if the date does not change correctly, the stored electrical energy is being depleted. Recharge the watch until the watch resumes the usual one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar before starting to wear it again. When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 17. ) 7 Page 7 05. 5. 6, 4:15 PM TIME RELAY FUNCTION When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC continues to calculate the time. [. . . ] When a certain amount of electrical power is generated, the watch hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside the watch. The operable time of the time relay function varies depending on the electrical energy stored inside the watch. In a case that the fully charged watch enters the power save mode, the time relay function of the watch remains operable for approximately four years. English If the stored electrical energy is completely depleted while the watch is in power save mode, swinging the watch will not activate the time relay function. (Refer to "HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE" on page 10 or "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 17. ) 8 Page 8 05. 5. 6, 4:15 PM SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN English Some models have the screw lock type crown, which can be locked by the screw when it is not necessary to be operated. When the operation is over, screw the crown in to lock. HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN If your watch has a screw lock type crown, unscrew it before any crown operation. Always keep the crown locked unless it is necessary for operating the crown. [To unscrew the crown] Turn the crown counterclockwise (downward) to unscrew it. The crown is unlocked and can be operated. The crown can be pulled out. [To screw the crown in] Upon completion of the crown operation, screw the crown in completely until it stops by turning it clockwise (upward) while gently pressing it back into the original position. Turn the crown while pressing it back in. 9 Page 9 05. 5. 6, 4:15 PM HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE English In order to "wake up" the watch from power save mode, swing the watch gently from side to side to recharge it. Do not pull out the crown to the second click position before performing the following procedures. This will cancel the time relay function. Swing the watch from side to side approximately 4 to 6 times rhythmically at a rate of twice a second, making an arc of about 20 cm as shown in the illustration below. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch with greater vigor. 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. 1. Only the hour, minute and 24hour hands move quickly to indicate the current time which has been internally retained in the built-in IC. 2. The year display dial shows the number of the year(s) past since the last leap year. When setting the year, check whether the year you are going to set is a leap year or not, if it is not a leap year, check how many years have passed (1, 2 or 3) since the last leap year. Leap year One year after the leap year Two years after the leap year Three years after the leap year 15 Page 15 05. 5. 6, 4:15 PM English Year Indication Number of the years passed since the last leap year L. Y. 2091 2095 2099 Year The design of the year indicator dial may vary depending on the model. 3. Turn the crown to rotate the year display dial until the desired indication appears. Continue to turn the crown until the month becomes adjustable. Month display Example: Position of the month display hand (June) 16 Page 16 05. 5. 6, 4:15 PM 4. Turn the crown to set the month display hand to indicate the correct month. Then continue to turn the crown to set the date. English Example: Date display of the 26th 5. Upon completion of the calendar adjustment in sequence of year, month and date, push the crown back into the original position. IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWOSECOND INTERVALS (ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION) When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 12 hours. When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. In such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E. S. U. (Refer to "HOW TO CHARGE THE WATCH" on page 18), and then reset the time and calendar.
