HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
1Swing the watch from side to
side.
2Charge the KINETIC E. S. U.
sufficiently.
3Set the time/calendar and put
on the watch.
* Swing rhythmically at a rate of
twice a second.

✽Number of swings and power reserve
1When the watch stops completely, or if you find the second hand
moving at two-second intervals, swings the watch from side to side
at a rate of twice a second.
2250 swings will reserve up to 1 day of power. The second hand will
start moving at one-second intervals.
3Wear the watch on your wrist.
* It is recommended that the watch be swung further until 2 days of power
is reserved. As a guideline of recharging, an additional 200 to 250 swings,
about 450 to 500 swings in total, will reserve 2 days of power.

✰ The illustration provides only a general guideline of the relationship between the
power reserve and the distance you walk. Actual amount of power reserve
differs from person to person.
✽Power reserve accumulated while you are walking
✽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. This condition, however, will be corrected
when the case back is turned away from the light.

FULL CHARGE OF THE KINETIC E. S. U.
●When the KINETIC E. S. U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for a
maximum of 6 months without recharging the KINETIC E. S. U.
REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E. S. U.
●The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in
the 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.
●The KINETIC E.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source.
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
●When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the
normal one-second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 24 hours.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E. S. U.
sufficiently.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
●When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started
quickly with only a few swings.
●This function is available as long as the watch has been stopped for less than a
year.
* When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second
intervals. Swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E.S.U. by referring
to “Number of swings and power reserve” on page 5.
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your
wrist so that it will be charged further.
