English ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION q When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal onesecond 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 q When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few swings. q 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. q 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. 10
