FEATURES SEIKO KINETIC AUTO RELAY Cal. 5J22/5J32 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...
POWER SAVE FUNCTION If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed. Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC continues to compute the correct time.

FUNCTION”, and then, follow the procedure below. Note: If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely.
If the watch is charged fully as the power save function is activated, the time relay function remains operable for approximately four years.

Notes: 1. Swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm. Swing 4 to 6 times at a rate of twice a second. 2. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch longer or with greater vigor.

4. If the power reserve decreases to an extremely low level while the power save function is in operation, the time relay function may not be activated by swinging the watch. Instead, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. In this case, set the time manually, and charge the watch referring to “ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING...

change, the time is set for the P.M. period. 5. When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute. 6. It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months. In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it until the desired date appears.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION The watch has been charged fully at the factory, and the power save function will keep the built-in IC computing the time for up to four years. Normally, therefore, it is not necessary to charge the watch manually by swinging it. If you should find the second hand moving at two-second intervals, however, charge the watch following the procedure in “G How to charge the watch”.
5. Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours. 6. 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 The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC E.S.U.
G Precautions for those only wearing the watch occasionally If you use the watch only occasionally, it is likely that, when you decide to use it, you will find the hands have stopped and the power save function has been activated. Before wearing the watch, be sure to use the time relay function to awaken the watch following the procedure in “How to activate the time relay function”.
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. ROTATING BEZEL (for models with rotating bezel) The rotating bezel can show up to 60 minutes of elapsed time. 1.
