When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it completely stopped, the
second hand may not start moving at normal one-second intervals even if the watch is swung the
number of times indicated in “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE”. In this case, swing
the watch further until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals.

The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being
fully charged, no malfunction will result.

Some models are equipped with an instant-start function, and the watch may start operating after it
is swung several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.
