Energy Depletion Forewarning Function, Quick-start Function

Page 19 highlights

English 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. 19

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.
