Kinetic Auto Relay
Seiko kinetic auto relay is an enhanced version of
Seiko Kinetic
which features power saving and time relay functions
that keep the watch operating for up to four years,
even if left unused.
When the watch is not in use, time is still calculated
in the Integrated Circuit (IC), but the watch hands
stop moving in order to save energy. When the watch
is picked up and moved again, the KINETIC power generating
system is activated and the correct time is automatically
relayed from the IC to the hands, which quickly reset
themselves to the exact time.
Automatic Energy Saving Function
If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3
consecutive days, the hands will automatically stop
moving to save energy, while the advanced integrated
circuit (IC) continues to keep track of the time.

- Manual
Energy Saving Function
You can also activate the energy saving function
manually by pulling the crown out to the first click
position and pushing it back in to its normal position
in less than a second.
Warning: Do not pull the crown out to the second click
position while the energy saving function is in operation.
This will cause the time data retained in the watch
to be erased, thus disabling the time relay function.

- Time
Relay Function
The Time Relay function automatically resets the
watch hands to the correct time when the watch is
reactivated after being in the energy saving function
mode in which the hands don't move. The correct time
is "relayed" from the built-in IC to the
hands, which begin to move again.
All you have to do is swing the watch gently. This
generates electricity which automatically activates
the Time Relay function, and the hands are adjusted
automatically to the time retained inside the watch's
IC. If the watch is fully charged when the power saving
function is activated, the Time Relay function remains
operable for approximately four years.

- Energy
Depletion Warning Function
As with all SEIKO KINETIC and KINETIC AUTO RELAY
watches, when the second hand starts to move in two-second
intervals instead of the usual one- second intervals,
the watch's energy reserves are low. The watch should
be charged by swinging it gently from side to side
in a small arc for approximately one minute.
