4-2. Charged with light (solar charge)

The Z1 operates with a battery (secondary battery) charged with electricity
generated by a solar panel.
•The solar panel is integrated within the dial.
•When sufficient light hits the dial, it will charge the battery.
When using, please try to ensure light hits the dial (solar panel).

4-3. How to charge

Whenever you are not wearing the Z1, leave it in a location where it is
exposed to light. Once every month, if you charge it against sunlight for
half a day, you can use it in a more stable condition. When wearing the
Z1, make sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your
clothing. If the dial (solar panel) is partially hidden, power generation
efficiency will be reduced.
Leaving the Z1 in bright light for charging may cause it to become quite
hot. Take care when handling the Z1 to avoid burn injury. The Z1 can
become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long
periods.
- On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
- Too close to an incandescent lamp
- Under direct sunlight
Allowing the Z1 to become too hot can cause its liquid crystal display to
black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when
the Z1 returns to a lower temperature.
The Z1 is charged sufficiently.
Set the current time. See "Configuring
Current Time and Date settings.
