FEATURES
SEIKO KINETIC Cal. 7L22 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.

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. Even if the battery
is installed, electricity will not be conducted.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
●When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal
one-secondintervals,thewatchwillrundowninapproximately12hours.
*If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals while the stopwatch is in use, the watch will
run down in approximately 45 minutes assuming the stopwatch remains in use. (Refer to “HOW TO
CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”.)

REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
●Donotpullthecrownouttothesecondclickwiththeintentionofstoppingthesecond
hand just to save energy. By doing so, a large amount of current flows through the
built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown to the second click will not save energy
but,infact,consumemoreenergythanusual.
