The AUTOMATIC POWER GENERATOR  
Arm movement is the energy source which sets the oscillating weight in motion. This,  
in turn, causes the rotor to spin even faster than an F1 racing car engine. The result is  
an electric current which is produced by the coil. This is stored by the capacitor, which  
supplies the circuit block with power to drive the watch as needed.  
EL GENERADOR AUTOMATICO DE ENERGIA  
El movimiento del brazo es la fuente de energía que pone el peso oscilador en  
movimiento. Este, a su vez, hace que el rotor gire aun más rápidamente que un motor  
de un coche de carreras F1. El resultado es una corriente eléctrica producida por la  
bobina. Esta se almacena mediante el condensador, el cual suministra energía al  
bloque de circuito para excitar el reloj como sea necesario.

SEIKO KINETIC®  
Cal. 3M22, 5M42, 5M43  
FEATURES  
The SEIKO KINETIC® Cal. 3M22/5M42/5M43 is an analogue watch featuring an  
Automatic Power Generator newly developed by SEIKO. It generates the electrical  
energy to power the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in a  
capacitor. Therefore, the watch does not use a battery. The watch is also equipped  
with a power reserve indicator and an energy depletion forewarning function so that  
its constant operation can be assured.  
I TIME  
Indicated by three hands  
I CALENDAR

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH  
When using the watch for the first time after it is purchased, be sure to charge the  
capacitor sufficiently by swinging the watch from side to side, and then put it on.  
1. Swing the watch from side to side rhythmically at a rate of twice a second in the same  
manner as you would swing a mechanical automatic winding watch.  
2. After the watch is swung about 100 times, the second hand starts moving at one-  
second intervals.  
* There will be about 3 hours (Cal. 3M22) / 6 hours (Cal. 5M42/5M43) of power  
reserve available.  
3. Swing the watch further about 400 times (Cal. 3M22) / 300 to 400 times (Cal. 5M42/  
5M43).  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
* There will be about 1 day (Cal. 3M22) / 2 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43) of power available.  
* It is not necessary to charge the capacitor fully before you wear the watch. While  
the watch is on your arm, the Automatic Power Generator will ensure constant  
operation.  
4. Set the time and calendar, and put on the watch.  
* We recommend that the watch be worn 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.  
Notes:  
1. To charge the capacitor efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc  
of about 20 cm.  
2. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater  
vigor.  
3. When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to  
drive the mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out sound, which is not a malfunction.  
4. Provided with a quick-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung  
several times. For details, see QUICK-START FUNCTIONon page 19.

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR  
The current power reserve of the capacitor can be checked instantly by using the power  
reserve indicator function.  
1. Press the button at the 2 oclock position. The second hand moves quickly and stops.  
2. The number of seconds that the second hand advances indicates the power reserve  
in the capacitor. (See the table on the next page)  
3. Please note that after the power reserve is checked, the second hand will resume  
normal movement again after the indicated 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds have elapsed.  
I The power reserve indicator provides a general guideline of the duration within  
which the watch keeps operating without needing to be charged. Actual power  
reserve may differ slightly from the amounts shown in the table.  
4. If the watch needs recharging, swing it sufficiently.

Notes:  
1. To allow easy reading of the second hand, we recommend that the button be pressed  
when the second hand is at the 12 oclock position. When the second hand points  
to LO, the capacitor has a power reserve of between 1 and 2 days (Cal. 3M22) / 2  
and 4 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43).  
2. You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more  
time. To do so a third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal  
movement before pressing the button again.  
3. When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low  
and the indicator does not function. See the next section, which explains the Energy  
Depletion Forewarning Function.  
4. Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the capacitor, the second hand may  
not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check after putting the watch on  
your wrist.  
5. 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 capacitor.  
This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from  
the light.

18  
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION  
When the energy stored in the capacitor is reduced to an extremely low level, the second  
hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second intervals,  
indicating that the watch needs recharging and will run down in approximately 3 hours  
(Cal. 3M22) / 6 hours (Cal. 5M42/5M43).  
If you find the second hand moving at two-second intervals, therefore, be sure to swing  
the watch from side to side to charge the capacitor sufficiently before using it.  
Note: The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two  
second intervals.  
QUICK-START FUNCTION  
This function is very useful when a watch has been stopped for a long time and you  
need to get it started quickly with only a few swings.  
This function is available as long as:  
1) the watch previously had more than 2 days (Cal. 3M22) / 4 days (Cal. 5M42/  
5M43) of power reserve before it stopped.  
2) it has been left untouched for 1 to 4 weeks.

* After you swing the watch several times and note that the hands are moving,  
be sure to put it on your wrist so that it will be charged further until the second  
hand is moving at one-second intervals.  
Note: If the second hand continues moving at two-second intervals after the  
watch is put on your wrist, swing it from side to side until the second  
hand starts moving at one-second intervals, and then, put in on your  
wrist.  
REMARKS ON THE RESERVE POWER OF THE CAPACITOR  
As the watch is powered by the electrical energy stored in the capacitor, it uses no  
battery.  
Even while the second hand is stopped by pulling out the crown to the second click,  
current continues being consumed by the built-in IC. Please note, therefore, that,  
while the watch is not in use, pulling out the crown to the second click will not save  
the energy stored in the capacitor.
