1When the watch stops completely, a few swings will start the
second hand moving at two-second intervals.
2Swing the watch approximately 100 times. There will be about 12
hours of power reserve available.
3Wear the watch on your wrist.
* It is recommended that the watch be swung further until one day of power
is reserved. As a guideline of recharging, an additional 200 swings, about
300 swings in total, will reserve one day of power.
* If the watch is swung 200 to 250 times, about one day of power will be
newly accumulated.

✩ The second hand starts moving at one-second intervals.
✰ 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 about 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 12 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.
