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. 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.) English 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. 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. 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. 5 English DISPLAY AND BUTTON OPERATION Minute hand [CAL. 7D46] Big calendar Hour hand Year indicator Second hand Month indicator Second click position: time settings Counterclockwise (Downward) 24-hour indicator Minute hand Clockwise (Upward) First click position: calendar adjustment Hour hand Year indicator Second hand Month indicator Second click position: time settings Counterclockwise (Downward) 24-hour indicator Clockwise (Upward) First click position: calendar adjustment [CAL. 7D48] Big calendar 6 Orientation of the displays of year, month and 24-hour indicator may vary depending on the model. BEFORE INITIAL USE English 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 function," 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. 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. 7 English When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24hour 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.) 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. 8 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. ) SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN English 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 (downward) 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 gently pressing it back into the original position. Turn the crown while pressing it back in. 9 HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE English 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 24hour hands move quickly to indicate 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. 10 Notes English If there is any time difference between the factory default time settings and the local time in your area, reset the time and calendar before initially using the watch after purchase. While the watch is in power save mode, the built-in IC computes the time internally at an accuracy of 15 seconds per month which is equivalent to the accuracy of conventional quartz watches. Therefore, the time relayed from the built-in IC to the hands by the automatic time relay function may include a certain amount of time loss or gain within the range of the accuracy of the watch ( 15 seconds per month.) In such a case, reset the time as needed before starting to wear the watch. 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. ) 11 HOW TO SET THE TIME AND CALENDAR English If there is any time difference between the factory default time settings and the local time in your area, reset the time and calendar before initially using the watch after purchase. In a case that the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical energy, recharge the watch until the second hand resumes the normal one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar. (Refer to "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 18.) HOW TO SET THE TIME 1. Pull out the crown to the second click. The second hand will be stopping on the spot. If your watch has a screw lock type crown, unscrew the crown first, and then pull it out to the second click. To set the second hand exactly, pull out the crown to the second click at a moment the second hand is pointing to the 12 o'clock (" 0 " second) position.
