✰
The illustration provides only a general guideline of the relationship between the power
reserve and the distance you walk. Actual amount of power reserve differs from person
to person.
✽Power reserve accumulated while you are walking
✽Precaution on see-through case-back models
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong 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.

FULL CHARGE OF THE KINETIC E. S. U.
●When the KINETIC E. S. U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for a
maximum of 12 to 14 days without recharging the KINETIC E. S. U.
REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E. S. U.
●Even while the second hand is stopped by pulling out the crown, current
continues being consumed by the built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown will
not save the energy stored in the KINETIC E. S. U.
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.

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
●When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the
normal one-second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 6 hours.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E. S. U.
sufficiently.
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:
1) the watch previously had more than 4 days of power reserve before it
stopped.
2) it has been left untouched for 1 to 4 weeks.
* After the watch starts operating, put it on your wrist so that it will be charged further
until the second hand moves at one-second intervals.
