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 provided with
the following additional functions.
POWER SAVE FUNCTION AND TIME RELAY FUNCTION
In order to conserve the stored electrical energy, the watch automatically enters
power save mode to stop the hands from moving approximately 24 hours after the
watch is taken off the wrist. When you
decide to wear the watch again, simply
swinging the watch several times will
awaken it and the hands will indicate the
correct time to resume normal operation.
❖
The time retrieved by the time relay function
may include a certain amount of time loss or
gain within the range of accuracy of the watch
(
15 seconds per month).
❖
In a case that the fully charged watch enters
the power save mode, the time relay function
of the watch remains operable for
approximately four years.
English

PERPETUAL CALENDAR FUNCTION
●Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including
February of leap years. (Exceptionally, the manual adjustment at the end of
February is required for the years that are divisible by four but are not leap years,
which comes only once every hundred years, for example, the year 2100.)
✽
It takes approximately two seconds for the calendar to change its display. However, it may
take two minutes if the temperature is low or the stored electrical energy is being depleted.
●While the watch is in power save mode, the perpetual calendar continues to
function.
●Even if the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical
energy, the calendar can be manually adjusted by simple procedures.
❖
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.
CAUTION
●The movement of your arm while the watch is worn generates electrical energy
to power the watch. Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged
while your arm is not in motion.
●It is recommended that the watch be worn on your wrist daily for at least 10
hours.

BEFORE INITIAL USE
■POWER SAVE FUNCTION
●This watch is powered by electrical energy generated and stored by the built-in
Automatic Generating System. The watch also features the “power save func-
tion,” which automatically stops the hands from moving when the watch is not
in use for a certain period of time to minimize the electrical energy consumption.
When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC
continues to calculate the time and calendar.
●When the watch is in power save mode, swinging the watch several times will
activate the “time relay function,” which automatically resets the watch hands
to the correct time that has been retained inside the watch.
✽
Do not pull the crown out to the second click position while the watch is in power save mode.
This will cancel the power save function causing the time data retained in the watch to be
erased.
✽
Do not leave the watch with its crown being at the second click position, as the watch
consumes greater energy than it uses while it is in power save mode.
<Remarks on Power Save Function>
●When the watch is left untouched for approximately 24 hours (approximately
one day), the power save function is automatically activated.
✽
While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function
cannot be activated.
English

■TIME RELAY FUNCTION
●When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC
continues to calculate the time. When a certain amount of electrical power is
generated, the watch hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside
the watch.
●The operable time of the time relay function varies depending on the electrical
energy stored inside the watch. In a case that the fully charged watch enters the
power save mode, the time relay function of the watch remains operable for
approximately four years.
✽
If the stored electrical energy is completely depleted while the watch is in power save mode,
swinging the watch will not activate the time relay function. Instead, the second hand starts
moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to “HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER
SAVE MODE” on page 10 or “IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND
INTERVALS” on page 18. )
●When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24-
hour hands will stop moving.
✽
While the watch is in power save mode, the calendar continues to function normally.
✽
When the watch is left untouched in power save mode and if the date does not change
correctly, the stored electrical energy is being depleted. Recharge the watch until the
watch resumes the usual one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and
calendar before starting to wear it again.
✽
When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low
electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to “IF
THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS” on page 18.)

SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
●Some models have the screw lock type crown, which can be locked by the screw
when it is not necessary to be operated.
●Locking the crown will prevent operating errors.
●Unscrew the crown before any crown operation. When the operation is over,
screw the crown in to lock.
■HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
If your watch has a screw lock type crown, unscrew it before any crown operation.
❖
Always keep the crown locked unless it is necessary for operating the crown.
[To unscrew the crown]
Turn the crown counterclockwise (down-
ward) to unscrew it. The crown is unlocked
and can be operated.
The crown can be pulled out.
[To screw the crown in]
Upon completion of the crown operation,
screw the crown in completely until it stops
by turning it clockwise (upward) while gen-
tly pressing it back into the original position.
Turn the crown while pressing
it back in.

HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE
●In order to “wake up” the watch from power save mode, swing the watch gently
from side to side to recharge it.
✽
Do not pull out the crown to the second click position before performing the following
procedures. This will cancel the time relay function.
Swing the watch from side to side approximately 4 to 6 times rhythmically at
a rate of twice a second, making an arc of about 20 cm as shown in the
illustration below.
✽
No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch 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.
1. Only the hour, minute and 24-
hour hands move quickly to indi-
cate the current time which has
been internally retained in the
built-in IC.
2. Then the second hand will follow
quickly to resume the normal
movement.
The second hand
remains still.
