USER MANUAL 5M65 KINETIC SEIKO

SPECIFICATIONS “ For the care of your watch, see ‘TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH" in the attached Worldwide Guarantee and Instruction Booklet.

English FEATURES Unlike the conventional quartz watch powered by the button-type battery, the 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 equipped with a 24-hour hand and features an hour-hand independent adjustment function (for time difference adjustment), offering several types of 24-hour hand usage. For instance, if you set the 24-hour hand to show your home time, you can independently set the hour hand to display the time of the place you are staying at as well as easily check your home time with the 24-hour hand. Alternatively, you can set the 24-hour hand to display the time in a different time zone. À caurion ‘© The movement of your arm while the watch is worn generates elec energy to power the watch. Even when the watch is worn on your arm will not be charged if your arm is not in motion. © it is recommended that the watch be worn on your wrist daily for at least 10 hours. + THE KINETIC E.S.U. is an abbreviation for KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT, which is the name of the power source employed in the KINETIC movements.

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH AM Swino the watch from side to side.

• Swing rhythmically at à rate of twice a second. M charge the KINETIC E.S.U. sufficientiy. I set the time/calendar and put on the watch.

NUMBER OF SWINGS 250 450 - 500

1. When the watch stops completely, or if you find the second hand moving at two-

second intervals, swing the watch from side to side at a rate of twice a second.

2. 250 swings will reserve up to 1 day of power. The second hand will start moving at

one-second intervals. *Itis recommended that the watch be swung further until 2 days of power is reserved. As à guïdeline for recharging, an additional 200 to 250 swings, about 450 to 500 swings in total will reserve 2 days of power.

3. Wear the watch on your wrist.

D Mg De math Paverresene 26 The illustrations above provide only general guidelines of the relationship between the power reserve and the number of swings/the distance you walk. Actual amount of power reserve differs from person to person.

FUNCTION © How to set the time When setting the time, ensure that the watch is working: the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. In a case that the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored elec- trical energy, recharge the watch until the second hand resumes the normal one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar. (Refer to “IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS* on page 28.) The 24-hour hand can be used in two ways.

IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS

(ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNC-

TION) © When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 24 hours. © In such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KI- NETIC E.S.U. (refer to "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" on page 6), and then reset the time and calendar. INSTANT-START FUNCTION © When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few swings. © This function is available as long as the watch has been stopped for less than a vear.

• When this function is activated, the second hand wil start moving at two-second intervals. Sn ne, natch from Side Lo side to charge the KINETIC E:S-U. by refering to “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POUVER RESERVE" on page

• After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that it will be charged further.

• The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervels. REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U. © The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC E.S.U. It is a power source completely different from conven- tional batteries for watches and does not require any periodic replacement. © When the KINETIC E.S.U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately 6 months without recharging the KINETIC E.S.U. © The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease, however, varies depending on the environment and conditions of use. © The KINETICE.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source. À 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.

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH © To charge the KINETIC E.S.U. 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 oscilating weight in the generating system rotates Lo drive the mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out à sound, which is not a malfunction. ‘© When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it has completely stopped, the second hand may not start moving at normal one-second intervals even if the watch is swung the number of times indicated in" NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE" on page 7. In this case, swing the watch further until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals. © The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result @ The watch is equipped with an instant-start function, and it may start operating after it is swung sev- eral times. For details, see INSTANT-START FUNCTION". @ it is not necessary to charge the watch fuly, as it is charged automatically while it is wo on your wrist. @ Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours. ‘@ Even when the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged if 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. © You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the button again. @ Hhen 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 E.S.U, the second hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed © Precaution on see-through case-back models: If your watch has a glass case back, do not expase the case back to streng light such as direct sunlight or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the KINETIC E.S.U. This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.

TIME/CALENDAR SETTING

@ To set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal. @ When setting the hour hand, pull out the crown ta the first click, turn it to set the hour hand to the current hour, and then check that AM/PM is correctiy set. The watch is designed so that the calendar changes once in 24 hours. ‘Turn the hand past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or PM. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not change, the time is set for the PM. period. Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves at one-hour intervals @ When setting the minute hand, pull out the crowmn all the way to turn the minute hand. Advance the hand 4 to 8 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute. @ When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. @ IL is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months. @ When setting the date, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it to rotate the hour hand until he date changes. The date advances one day by tuming the hour hand te full rotations clockwise, while the date is set back one day by tuning the hour hand Bo ful rotations counterclockwise. usBua
