NOTES ON OPERATING 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.
● Provided with an instant-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung
several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.
● Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
● Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in
motion.
