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 "q How to charge the watch". q 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. q 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. q 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. 2. Swing the watch approximately 200 times further to reserve one day of power. 12
