■ 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. If you find the second hand
moving at two-second intervals after swinging the watch, swing it further until the
second hand moves at the normal one-second intervals.
✽
To charge the KINETIC E.S.U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side rhythmically at
a rate of twice a second, making an arc of about 20 cm.
✽
No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.
✽
When the electrical energy stored in the KINETIC E.S.U. is completely depleted after the
watch is left untouched for a long time, the watch requires at least 450 swings to generate
power to resume the normal operational movement.
2. It is recommended that the watch be swung further until it can reserve enough
power to run the watch for approximately one day.
As a guideline, 200 swings will generate the power to run the watch for approxi-
mately one day.
✶ After swinging the watch, check that the second hand is moving
at one-second intervals.
