SEIKO KINETIC Diver's Watch Cal. 5M82/5M83 is an analogue quartz watch equipped with
the Kinetic technology developed by SEIKO. It generates the electric energy to power the
watch, utilizing the movement of your arm, and stores it in the rechargeable battery, which
requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type batteries.
Calibre number of your watch
l
Please check the case back of your watch to find its
calibre number inscribed on it. As illustrated at right,
the calibre number of your watch is the 4-digit number
to the left of the hyphen mark.

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
Swing the watch from side to side.
1
* Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second.
English
Charge the rechargeable battery sufficiently.
2
Set the time/calendar and put on the watch.
3
To charge the rechargeable battery efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about
l
20 cm.
No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.
l
When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the
l
mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction.
8
When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it completely stopped, the
l
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
l
fully charged, no malfunction will result.
Some models are equipped with an instant-start function, and the watch may start operating after it
l
is swung several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.
It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist.
l
Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
l
Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion.

NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE
POWER
English
1. When the watch stops completely, or if you find the second hand moving at twosecond intervals, swing the watch from side to side at a rate of twice a second.
2. 250 swings will reserve up to 1 day of power. The second hand will start moving
at one-second intervals.
* It is recommended that the watch be swung further until 2 days of power is reserved. As a guideline
of recharging, additional 250 swings, about 500 swings in total, will reserve 2 days of power.

The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch
l
keeps operating without needing to be charged.
You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so
l
a third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the
English
button again.
When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator
l
does not function.
Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the rechargeable battery, the second hand may not
l
properly indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed.
Precaution on see-through case-back models:
l
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct sunlight
or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the
watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the rechargeable battery. This condition, however,
will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.

For Cal. 5M82, do not set the calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. For Cal. 5M83, do not
l
set the calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is
necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it,
set the calendar and then reset the correct time.
English
To set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock
l
position and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the
l
calendar changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or
P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not
change, the time is set for the P.M. period.
When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn
l
it back to the exact minute.
When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
l
It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a 30-day month and February. In this case,
l
pull out the crown to the first click and turn it until the desired date appears.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal
l
one-second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 24 hours.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the rechargeable battery
sufficiently.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started
l
quickly with only a few swings.
The instant-start function will remain active for approximately 3 years after a
l
fully-charged watch stops working.
* When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals. Swing the
watch from side to side to charge the rechargeable battery by referring to “NUMBER OF SWINGS
AND POWER RESERVE”
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that it
will be charged further.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
REMARKS ON THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the
l
rechargeable battery. It is a power source completely different from conventional
batteries for watches and does not require any periodical replacement.
English
14
15
Page 9
When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the watch will keep operating
l
for approximately 6 months without recharging the rechargeable battery.
The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease,
l
however, varies depending on the environment and condition of use.
English
The rechargeable battery is a clean and environmentally friendly power source.
l
CAUTION
Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the
rechargeable battery. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
To unscrew the crown:
l
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting)
To screw in the crown:
l
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.
ROTATING BEZEL
The rotating bezel can show the elapsed time up to 60 minutes. By setting it before
diving, you can know how many minutes you are underwater.
l
To prevent accidental rotation, the rotating bezel is so designed that rotation
becomes harder in water. Also for safty's sake, it roatates only counterclockwise,
so that the time measured is never shorter than the actual elapsed time.
1. Turn the rotating bezel to align its " "mark with the minute hand.
* The rotating bezel rotates with clicks. With each click, it turns half a minute.
2. To know the elapsed time, read the number on the rotating bezel that the
minute hand points to.
Example:
Minute hand
"30" on rotating bezel
Start(10:10 AM)
" " mark
30 minutes have elapsed.

LUMIBRITE
LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and the natural
environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substances.
LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight or
English
artificial light in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite
can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.
Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the
light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly
depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light
and the distance from the light source to the watch.
When you make a dive in dark water, LumiBrite may not emit light unless it has absorbed and
stored light sufficiently.
Before diving, therefore, be sure to expose the watch to light under the conditions specified
above, so that it fully absorbs and stores light energy. Otherwise, use the watch together with
an underwater flashlight.
