FEATURES
SEIKO KINETIC Cal. 3M62/5M62/5M63 is an analogue quartz watch equipped with an Automatic
Generating System developed by SEIKO. It generates the electric energy to power the watch,
utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT
(KINETIC E.S.U.), which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type
batteries.
✩ Calibre number of your watch
Please check the case back of your watch to find its
calibre number inscribed on it. As illustrated at right, the
calibre number of your watch is the 4-digit number to the
left of the hyphen mark.

1. When the watch stops completely, or if you find the second hand moving at two-
second intervals, swing the watch from side to side at a rate of twice a second.
2. 400 swings (Cal. 3M62) / 250 swings (Cal. 5M62/5M63) will reserve up to 1 day of
power. The second hand will start moving at one-second intervals.
*
It is recommended that the watch be swung further until 2 days of power is reserved. As a
guideline of recharging, an additional 350 to 400 swings, about 750 to 800 swings in total (Cal.
3M62) / an additional 200 to 250 swings, about 450 to 500 swings in total (Cal. 5M62/5M63),
will reserve 2 days of power.
3. Wear the watch on your wrist.

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 24 hours.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E.S.U. sufficiently.
*The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
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 the watch has been stopped for less than a year.
* When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals. Swing the
watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E.S.U. by referring to “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER
RESERVE”.
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that it will be
charged further.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
✩ The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC
E.S.U. It is a power source completely different from conventional batteries for watches and
does not require any periodical replacement.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
10
✩ When the KINETIC E.S.U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately
2 months (Cal. 3M62) / 6 months (Cal. 5M62/5M63) without recharging the KINETIC E.S.U.
✩ The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease, however,
varies depending on the environment and condition of use.
✩ The KINETIC E.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source.
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.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
✩ To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting)
✩ To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.

ROTATING BEZEL (for models with rotating bezel)
✩ The rotating bezel can show up to 60 minutes of elapsed time.
1. Turn the rotating bezel to align its “
”
mark with the minute hand.
Start
2. Read the number on the rotating bezel that
the minute hand points to.

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.
✩ 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 “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE”. In this case, swing the watch further until
the second hand starts moving at 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.
✩ Some models are equipped with an instant-start function, and the watch may start operating after it is
swung several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.
✩ It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist.
✩ 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 INDICATOR
✩ The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch keeps
operating without needing to be charged.
✩ 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.
✩ When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator
does not function.

13
✩ Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC E.S.U., the second hand may not properly
indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed.
✩ 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.
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
✩ For Cal. 3M62 and Cal. 5M62, do not set the calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. For Cal. 5M63,
do not set the calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is
necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the
calendar and then reset the correct time.
✩ To set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position
and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
✩ 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 calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar 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 until the desired date appears.
