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.
●If you find the second hand moving at
●The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result.
●Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
●Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion.
POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH
●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.
