IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT
TWO-SECOND INTERVALS
(ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNC-
TION)
l
When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is
worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 2
hours.
l
In such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KI-
NETIC E.S.U. (refer to "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" on page 6),
and then reset the time and calendar.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
l
When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started
quickly with only a few swings.
l
This function is available as long as the watch has been stopped for less than a
year.
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.
CAUTION
REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
l
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 conven-
tional batteries for watches and does not require any periodic replacement.
l
When the KINETIC E.S.U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for
approximately 6 months without recharging the KINETIC E.S.U.
l
The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease,
however, varies depending on the environment and conditions of use.
l
The KINETIC E.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source.
* 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 7.
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that
it will be charged further.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
