English If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals (ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION) l When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 24 hours. l In such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E.S.U. (refer to "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" on page 6), and then reset the time and calendar. INSTANT-START FUNCTION l When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few swings. l 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" on page 7. * 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. 28 REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U. l 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 periodic replacement. ● When the KINETIC E.S.U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately 6 months without recharging the KINETIC E.S.U. ● The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease, however, varies depending on the environment and conditions of use. ● The KINETIC E.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source. CAUTION Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the KINETIC E.S.U. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire. 29 English
