[. . . ] Push crown back to original position. Note: The date, month and year indicators work independently from the hands of the watch. Advancing the hands will not advance the date, month or year. 60 Operating Instructions KINETIC CHRONOGRAPH SNL SERIES (7L22) · Hour, minute and second hands. · 5 Month Power Storage. How to charge and start the watch When using the watch for the first time be sure to charge the Energy Storage Unit (ESU) sufficiently by swinging the watch from side to side before setting the time and other functions. After the watch is swung for approximately 500 times, the second hand begins to move in 1 second intervals. It is not necessary to charge the ESU fully before you wear the watch. While the watch is on your arm, the Automatic Power Generator will ensure constant operation. Notes: 1. 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. Do not pull the crown out to the second click position with the intention of stopping the second hand just to save energy. Therefore, pulling the crown out to the second click position will not save energy but, in fact, consume more energy than usual. How to set time and date 1. Pull crown out to the first click position (unscrew crown if your watch is fitted with this feature). Turn crown counter clockwise until the previous day's date appears. Turn counter clockwise to advance the hour and minute hands past 12am. (Ensure you screw crown back in if fitted with this feature. ) How to use stopwatch The stopwatch can measure up to 45 minutes in 1/5th of a second increments. · Press Button `A' to start, stop and restart the stopwatch. · Press Button `B' to reset the stopwatch. Energy depletion forewarning function When the second hand starts moving in two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second interval, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours. * Do not press Buttons `A' and `B' at the same time, or press one of the two buttons. 61 Operating Instructions PERPETUAL CALENDAR SNQ SERIES (6A32) · Hour, minute and second hands. · Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years up to February 28th 2100. · Can indicate the year, month and date. Before using the watch Because the calendar is pre-adjusted at the factory, you only need to set the time and date and the calendar will automatically update itself. Pull out the crown out to the second click when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position. Follow the procedures below to check the calendar and, if necessary, to adjust it. If the calendar is checked and adjusted between these times, the date may not change properly. In such case, first change the time to any time outside this period, and then set the date. [. . . ] In either case, charge the watch using the procedure previously outlined. Notes on Power Saving Mode After Kinetic Perpetual senses inactivity for more than 24 hours, the hands stop and the watch goes into sleep mode. During this time the watch will still calculate the correct time but store it in its IC. The date, month and year indicator will continue to display the correct information. [. . . ]
