NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH

 

 

• To charge the KINETIC E.S.U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about

 

20 cm.

 

• No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.

 

• 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.

 

• When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it has completely stopped,

 

the second hand may not start moving at normal one-second intervals even if the watch is swung

 

the number of times indicated in "NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE" on page 7. In this

 

case, swing the watch further until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals.

 

• The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being

 

fully charged, no malfunction will result.

 

• The watch is equipped with an instant-start function, and it may start operating after it is swung sev-

 

eral times. For details, see "INSTANT-START FUNCTION".

 

• It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your

 

wrist.

 

• Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.

 

• Even when the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged if your arm is not in motion.

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

•The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch keeps operating without needing to be charged.

•You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so a

third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the button

30again.

• When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator

 

does not function.

English

• Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC E.S.U., the second hand may not properly

 

indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed.

 

• 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.

 

TIME/CALENDAR SETTING

 

• To set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position

 

and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.

 

• When setting the hour hand, pull out the crown to the first click, turn it to set the hour hand to the

 

current hour, and then check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is designed so that the calendar

 

changes once in 24 hours.

 

Turn the hand past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or

 

P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not

 

change, the time is set for the P.M. period. Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand

 

moves at one-hour intervals.

 

• When setting the minute hand, pull out the crown all the way to turn the minute hand. Advance the

 

hand 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute.

 

• When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.

 

• It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.

 

• When setting the date, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it to rotate the hour hand until the

 

date changes. The date advances one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations clockwise, while

 

the date is set back one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations counterclockwise.
