POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH
● The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC
ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E.S.U.). It is a power source com pletely different
from conventional batteries for watches, and therefore, this watch does not require battery
replacem ent.
● Pow er reserve guidelines for the KINETIC E.S.U.
You can estim ate the power reserve accum ulated in the KINETIC E.S.U. from the m anner
in which you wear the watch.
Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accum ulate approxim ately four additional
days of power reserve.
If you wear the watch every day for 12 hours a day over a week, for exam ple, the watch will
be fully charged.
● Full charge
When the watch is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approxim ately 1 m onth.
● Precautions for those only w earing the w atch occasionally
If you use the watch only occasionally, it is likely that you will find the watch running down
when you decide to use it. Before wearing the watch, be sure to charge it sufficiently
following the procedure in “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”.

REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
● Do not pull the crown out to the second click with the intention of stopping the second hand
just to save energy. By doing so, a large am ount of current flows through the built-in IC.
Therefore, pulling out the crown to the second click will not save energy but, in fact,
consum e m ore energy than usual.
CAUTION
Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional w atches in place of the
KINETIC E.S.U. The battery m ay burst, becom e very hot or catch fire.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
● When the second hand starts m oving at two-second intervals instead of the norm al one-
second intervals, the watch will run down in approxim ately 12 hours.
* If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals while the stopwatch is in use, the watch will
run down in approximately 1 to 2 hours assuming the stopwatch remains in use.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E.S.U.

STOPWATCH
● The stopwatch can m easure up to 12 hours, 6 m inutes and 12.2 seconds in 1/10 second
increm ents.
● The m easured tim e is indicated by sm all STOPWATCH hands that m ove independently of
the hands for tim e indication.
TIP S ON READING THE HANDS
● The STOPWATCH m inute hand turns a full circle in 30 m inutes. The indicated scale,
therefore, should be read differently depending on the position of the STOPWATCH hour
hand.
Ex. ) When the STOPWATCH m inute hand indicates “10”:
Measured tim e is either “10 m inutes” or “40 m inutes”. Check the position of the
STOPWATCH hour hand to decide which to choose.
“1 hour and 10 minutes”
“1 hour and 40 minutes”
(The hour hand is nearer to the 1-hour marker.)
(The hour hand is nearer to the 2-hour marker.)

◆ STOPWATCH second hand reading:

◆ STOPWATCH m inute hand reading:
The STOPWATCH minute hand almost

S TOP WATCH OP ERATION
● Before using the stopw atch, be sure to reset the STOPWATCH hands to “0” position.
1) Check that the watch is operating norm ally.
* If the watch has stopped completely or if the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, charge
the watch sufficiently. (See “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”)
2) ◆ If the STOPWATCH hands are m oving, press button B to stop the m easurem ent and
then press button A to reset the STOPWATCH hands to “0” position.
◆ If the STOPWATCH hands have stopped m oving, press button B m ore than once to
stop the m easurem ent and then press button A to reset the STOPWATCH hands to “0”
position.

NOTES FOR USING 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.
● If you find the second hand moving at two-second intervals after swinging the watch approximately
200 times, swing it further until the second hand moves at the normal 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.
● Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
● Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion.
POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH
● Precaution on see-through case-back m odels:
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.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
● The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
● If the stopwatch continues to be used after the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals,
the movement of the stopwatch hands may become unstable immediately before the watch stops
completely.

TIME/ CALENDAR SETTING
● Do not set the date between 0:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is
necessary to set the date during that time period, first advance the time ahead of 2:00 a.m., set the
date and then reset the correct time.
● The date changes instantly when the hands move past the 12 o’clock marker at midnight. When the
date is set by turning the hands, however, it may change gradually between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
This is not a malfunction.
● When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the
calendar changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not change, the time
is set for the P.M. period.
● When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 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.
● It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it counterclockwise until the desired date
appears.
STOPWATCH
● You may feel that the buttons of the watch are harder to press compared with those of conventional
watches. This is due to the special construction needed for the stopwatch function, and, therefore,
is not a malfunction.
● While the stopwatch is being used, the watch consumes 10 times the amount of energy required by
time indication alone. Before using the stopwatch, therefore, make sure that the watch is charged
sufficiently.
● If the stopwatch continues to be used while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the
watch will run down within 1 to 2 hours.
● When using the stopwatch for the first time after the watch has been charged to start operation, be
sure to reset the stopwatch even if the STOPWATCH hands are at “0” position.

● While the stopwatch is measuring, pressing button A will not reset the stopwatch.
● Do not press buttons A and B at the same time, nor press one of the two buttons while keeping the other
pressed. Otherwise, a malfunction will result.
