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. Cal. 5J22/5J32 is an enhanced model of the KINETIC watches and features the power save and time relay functions to keep the watch operating for up to four years once it is fully charged, even if it is left unused and no charging is done. POWER SAVE FUNCTION If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed. English Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC continues to compute the correct time. More specifically, the watch measures the time during which the generating system remains inactive and no charging is done. The power save function is activated when such time period extends to approximately 72 hours without a break. If the watch senses movement of the oscillating weight before the completion of 72 hours, the measurement of the inactive time is stopped and reset to "0". Power save function If the watch is left unused for 3 days, the hands stop automatically to conserve the stored electric energy. If the watch is kept in a situation where movement repeatedly causes the hands to keep moving and the power save function is prevented from being activated without additional charge, the energy will be consumed in approximately 6 months after the watch is fully charged. Time relay function Though the hands stop, the builtin IC continues to keep the time. To use the watch again, swinging it several times will awaken it. The hands will move quickly to indicate the current time, and resume normal operation. 5 4 English Manual power save function The power save function can be activated manually. If you decide not to use the watch for a long time, use this function to further conserve energy. * While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function cannot be activated manually. In this case, charge the watch referring to "ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION", and then, follow the procedure below. TIME RELAY FUNCTION While the power save function is working, the built-in IC continues to compute the time though the hands have stopped. As a certain amount of electricity is generated by swinging the watch, the time relay function is activated, and the hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside the watch. English If the watch is charged fully as the power save function is activated, the time relay function remains operable for approximately four years. * The time period varies depending on the amount of power reserve stored in the KINETIC E.S.U. CROWN Pull out to the first click. * Pull out and push in within one second. How to activate the time relay function Note: If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely. Caution: Do not pull out the crown to the second click while the power save function is in operation. Otherwise, it is turned off, and the time data retained inside the watch will be erased, thus disabling the time relay function. 6 Push in to the normal position. * The hands will stop as the power save function is activated. Caution: Do not pull out the crown to the second click before activating the time relay function. Otherwise, the time data retained inside the watch will be erased, thus disabling the time relay function. Swing the watch from side to side for 2 to 3 seconds. 7 English 1. The hour and minute hands move quickly to indicate the current time computed by the IC, setting AM and PM properly. 2. The built-in IC computes the time in the 24-hour indication, making a distinction between AM and PM periods. It does not compute the date, and the time relay function will not adjust the date. If the power save function has been active for more than 1 day before the time relay function is activated, be sure to adjust the date to the current date. 3. If the power save function has been in operation for several months before the time relay function is activated, the time indicated by the hands may include a certain amount of time loss or gain that has accumulated during those months. Adjust the hands as required. English 2. The second hand moves quickly to indicate the current second, and then continues moving at one-second intervals. 4. If the power reserve decreases to an extremely low level while the power save function is in operation, the time relay function may not be activated by swinging the watch. Instead, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. In this case, set the time manually, and charge the watch referring to "ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION". Notes: 1. Swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm. Swing 4 to 6 times at a rate of twice a second. 2. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch longer 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 a sound, which is not a malfunction. Remarks on using the time relay function 1. When using the watch for the first time after it is purchased, it is necessary to adjust the time and date as the watch has been adjusted to the time of the area where SEIKO's factory is located. 8 9 English HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE 1. Pull out the crown to the first click and turn it counterclockwise to set the previous day's date. 2. Pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position, and advance the hands by turning the crown counterclockwise to set the desired date. 3. Turn the hands to set the desired time. 4. Push back the crown completely in accordance with a time signal. change, the time is set for the P.M. period. 5. 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. 6. 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. English 10 Notes: 1. If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely. 2. Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the date and then reset the correct time. 3. When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. 4. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the date 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 11 English ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION The watch has been charged fully at the factory, and the power save function will keep the built-in IC computing the time for up to four years. Normally, therefore, it is not necessary to charge the watch manually by swinging it. If you should find the second hand moving at two-second intervals, however, charge the watch following the procedure in " How to charge the watch". * It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist. English When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal onesecond intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours. If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals when the power save function is turned off by swinging the watch, the power reserve may have become depleted to an extremely low level. In those cases, charge the watch following the procedure below. Notes: 1. To charge the watch 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 a sound, which is not a malfunction. 4. The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully charged, no malfunction will result. 5. Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours. 6. 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 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. How to charge the watch 1. Swing the watch from side to side approximately 500 times. * Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second. * If the second hand still moves at two-second intervals after the watch is swung 500 times, swing it further until the second hand moves at onesecond intervals. Power reserve guideline for the KINETIC E.S.U. · You can estimate the power reserve accumulated in the KINETIC E.S.U. from the manner in which you wear the watch. · Using the manual power save function as often as possible is an effective way to co ...
