KINETIC is an analog quartz watch equipped with an Automatic Generating System, the unique technology developed by SEIKO, which generates electrical energy to power the watch by utilizing the movement of the arm or wrist, and stores it in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E.S.U.) The watch is provided with...

PERPETUAL CALENDAR FUNCTION ● Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years. (Exceptionally, the manual adjustment at the end of February is required for the years that are divisible by four but are not leap years, which comes only once every hundred years, for example, the year 2100.) ✽...

BEFORE INITIAL USE ■ POWER SAVE FUNCTION ● This watch is powered by electrical energy generated and stored by the built-in Automatic Generating System. The watch also features the “power save func- tion,” which automatically stops the hands from moving when the watch is not in use for a certain period of time to minimize the electrical energy consumption.
● When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24- hour hands will stop moving. ✽ While the watch is in power save mode, the calendar continues to function normally. ✽ When the watch is left untouched in power save mode and if the date does not change correctly, the stored electrical energy is being depleted.
SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN ● Some models have the screw lock type crown, which can be locked by the screw when it is not necessary to be operated. ● Locking the crown will prevent operating errors. ● Unscrew the crown before any crown operation. When the operation is over, screw the crown in to lock.
HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE ● In order to “wake up” the watch from power save mode, swing the watch gently from side to side to recharge it. ✽ Do not pull out the crown to the second click position before performing the following procedures.

Notes ✽ If there is any time difference between the factory default time settings and the local time in your area, reset the time and calendar before initially using the watch after purchase. ✽ While the watch is in power save mode, the built-in IC computes the time internally at an accuracy of 15 seconds per month which is equivalent to the accuracy of conventional quartz watches.
✽ To set the second hand exactly, pull out the crown to the second click at a moment the second hand is pointing to the 12 o’clock (“ 0 ” second) position. [Cal. 7D46] [Cal. 7D48] Second click position Second click position...

2. Turn the crown to set the time. ✽ Remember to check the 24-hour indicator to correctly set AM/PM. ✽ To set the time accurately, advance the minute hand 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the correct time, and then turn it back to the exact time. 3.

■ HOW TO SET THE PERPETUAL CALENDAR ● Date, month and year are interlocked on the perpetual calendar. To set the month or year, advance the date by turning the crown until the month or year becomes adjustable. ✽ The calendar can be adjusted by turning the crown in either direction upward or downward at the first click position.

3. Turn the crown to rotate the year indicator until the desired indication appears. Continue to turn the crown until the month becomes adjustable. Month display Example: Position of the month display hand (June) 4. Turn the crown to set the month display hand to indicate the correct month. Then continue to turn the crown to set the date.
IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO- SECOND INTERVALS (ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION) ● When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 12 hours. ●...

■ HOW TO CHARGE THE WATCH 1. Swing the watch from side to side rhythmically at a rate of twice a second as shown in the illustration below. This movement will recharge the watch to start moving at the normal one-second intervals from the two-second interval movement.
POWER RESERVE GUIDELINES FOR THE KINETIC E.S.U. ● Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accumulate power to run the watch for approximately one and a half additional days. ✽ As a general guideline, if you wear the watch every day for 12 hours over a period of a week, the power to run the watch for approximately ten days will be additionally secured.
