REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
●
Do not pull the crown out to the second click with the intention of stopping the second hand
just to save energy. By doing so, a large amount of current flows through the built-in IC.
Therefore, pulling out the crown to the second click will not save energy but, in fact,
consume more energy than usual.
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.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
●
When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-
second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours.
* If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals while the stopwatch is in use, the watch will
run down in approximately 1 to 2 hours assuming the stopwatch remains in use.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the KINETIC E.S.U.
