Ensure the Z1 is in standby mode (display reads 0 . 0 ) . The Battery
will not charge unless the Z1 is in standby mode . The Battery
status indicator on the Z1 will flash when the Battery is charging .
The number of solid bars indicates the current level of charge .

The battery status indicator will stop flashing when the Battery
is fully charged . Typically it will take 12 hours to fully charge the battery . After a few minutes, the
backlit display will turn off . This is to conserve power . It does not indicate that the battery is fully
charged .
