Seiko 9T82 manual Remarks on the Kinetic E.S.U, Energy Depletion Forewarning Function

English

REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.

●Do not pull the crown out to the second click with the intention of stopping the second 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, in fact, consume more energy than usual.

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.

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION

●When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one- second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours.

*If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals while the stopwatch is in use, the watch will run down in approximately 1 to 2 hours assuming the stopwatch remains in use.

In this case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E.S.U.
