NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH

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 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.

● It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn

on your wrist.

● While you walk with your watch on your wrist, swinging your arm will charge the

KINETIC E.S.U. more efficiently than merely swinging the watch by hand.

● Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in

motion.

● Provided with an instant-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung

several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.

● Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.

● When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it 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 step 2 of “Number of swings
