NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH
HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
●
To charge the KINETIC E. S. U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making
an arc of about 20 cm.
●
No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or 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.
●
The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung
after being fully charged, no malfunction will result.
●
It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn
on your wrist.
●
While you walk with your watch on your wrist, swinging your arm will charge the
KINETIC E.S.U. more efficiently than merely swinging the watch by hand.
●
Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in
motion.
●
Wear the watch daily for at least 8 hours.
●
If the watch is worn for 12 hours a day, about 36 hours (one and a half days) of power
reserve will be newly accumulated every day. If the watch is worn for 12 hours a day
over a week, for example, about 10 additional days of power reserve is accumulated.
●
The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second
intervals.
