NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
To charge the KINETIC electricity storage unit 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.
The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully
charged, no malfunction will result.
Provided with an instant-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung several times.
For details, see "INSTANT-START FUNCTION" on page 11.
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 INDICATOR
The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch
keeps operating without needing to be charged.
To allow easy reading of the second hand, press the button when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock
position.
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 again.
When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the
indicator does not function.
Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC electricity storage unit, the second
hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check after putting the watch on your
wrist.
