SEIKO KINETIC AUTO RELAY Cal. 5J22/5J32 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.
Cal. 5J22/5J32 is an enhanced model of the KINETIC watches and features the power save and
time relay functions to keep the watch operating for up to four years once it is fully charged,
even if it is left unused and no charging is done.
If the watch is left unused for 3 days, the
hands stop automatically to conserve the
stored electric energy.
■Power save function
Though the hands stop, the built-
in IC continues to keep the time.
To use the watch again, swinging
it several times will awaken it.
The hands will move quickly to
indicate the current time, and
resume normal operation.

POWER SAVE FUNCTION
●If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop
moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed.
●Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC
continues to compute the correct time.
●More specifically, the watch measures the time during which the generating system
remains inactive and no charging is done. The power save function is activated when such
time period extends to approximately 72 hours without a break. If the watch senses
movement of the oscillating weight before the completion of 72 hours, the measurement
of the inactive time is stopped and reset to “0”.
●If the watch is kept in a situation where movement repeatedly causes the hands to keep
moving and the power save function is prevented from being activated without additional
charge, the energy will be consumed in approximately 6 months after the watch is fully
charged.

Manual power save function
The power save function can be activated manually. If you decide not to use the watch
for a long time, use this function to further conserve energy.
* While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function cannot be
activated manually. In this case, charge the watch referring to “ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING
FUNCTION”, and then, follow the procedure below.
➠
➠
CROWN Pull out to the first click.
▼
Push in to the normal position.
* The hands will stop as the power save function
is activated.
* Pull out and push in within one second.
Note: If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and
then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it
clockwise to screw it in completely.
Caution:
Do not pull out the crown to the second click while the power save function is in
operation. Otherwise, it is turned off, and the time data retained inside the watch
will be erased, thus disabling the time relay function.

TIME RELAY FUNCTION
●While the power save function is working, the built-in IC continues to compute the time
though the hands have stopped. As a certain amount of electricity is generated by swinging
the watch, the time relay function is activated, and the hands are adjusted automatically to
the time retained inside the watch.
●If the watch is charged fully as the power save function is activated, the time relay function
remains operable for approximately four years.
How to activate the time relay function
●Swing the watch from side to side for 2 to 3 seconds.
Caution:
Do not pull out the crown to the second click before activating the time relay
function. Otherwise, the time data retained inside the watch will be erased,
thus disabling the time relay function.
* The time period varies depending on the amount of power reserve stored in the KINETIC E.S.U.

Notes:
1. Swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm. Swing 4 to 6 times at a rate
of twice a second.
2. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch longer or with greater vigor.
3. 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. The hour and minute hands move quickly to indicate the
current time computed by the IC, setting AM and PM
properly.
2. The second hand moves quickly to indicate the current
second, and then continues moving at one-second intervals.
●Remarks on using the time relay function
1. When using the watch for the first time after it is purchased, it is necessary to adjust the
time and date as the watch has been adjusted to the time of the area where SEIKO’s
factory is located.

2. The built-in IC computes the time in the 24-hour indication, making a distinction between
AM and PM periods. It does not compute the date, and the time relay function will not
adjust the date. If the power save function has been active for more than 1 day before the
time relay function is activated, be sure to adjust the date to the current date.
3. If the power save function has been in operation for several months before the time relay
function is activated, the time indicated by the hands may include a certain amount of
time loss or gain that has accumulated during those months. Adjust the hands as
required.
4. If the power reserve decreases to an extremely low level while the power save function
is in operation, the time relay function may not be activated by swinging the watch.
Instead, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. In this case, set the time
manually, and charge the watch referring to “ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING
FUNCTION”.

HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE
1. Pull out the crown to the first click and turn
it counterclockwise to set the previous day’s
date.
2. Pull out the crown to the second click when
the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position,
and advance the hands by turning the crown
counterclockwise to set the desired date.
3. Turn the hands to set the desired time.
4. Push back the crown completely in
accordance with a time signal.

Notes:
1. If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then,
pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise
to screw it in completely.
2. Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If
it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it,
set the date and then reset the correct time.
3. When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
4. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the
date changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M.
or P.M. period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not
