22. Precautions for Use
Waterproofi ng
• In order to maintain your Z1’s waterproofness, it is recommended that
you periodically have the O-rings replaced during maintenance.
• A waterproof inspection will be conducted when the battery is replaced,
so be sure to tell your dealer so he can determine the proper mainte-
nance interval.
• If your Z1 is suddenly subjected to extreme cold, the inside of the glass
may become cloudy. However, this shouldn’t present a problem as long
as the cloudiness disappears relatively soon. If the cloudiness persists,
or if water is visible inside, stop using your Z1 immediately and consult
your dealer.
Wristband
• Cinching your wristband too tight increases body sweat beneath the
band and reduces airfl ow, making it easier to develop a rash. For daily
use, allow a margin of space between your wrist and the Z1 wristband.
• Stop using your Z1 if the wristband loses its elasticity, if cracks appear,
if discoloration occurs, or if the wristband junction pin loosens. Consult
with your dealer for inspection and repair.
Temperature
• Do not leave your Z1 in high-temperature areas such as on an auto-
mobile dashboard or near heating equipment. Conversely, do not leave
your Z1 in areas where there are persistent cold temperatures. Either
scenario may result in a malfunction.
NOTES:
•
Too long spent subjected to excessive heat may interfere with the Z1’s
liquid crystal panel (60ºC/140ºF or higher).
• Too long spent subjected to any excessive temperature and the Z1’s
liquid crystal display may become diffi
cult to see (0ºC/32ºF or less, or
104ºF/40ºC or more).
Shock
• Dropping or striking your Z1 against a solid object may cause a system
failure.
Magnetism
• If your Z1 becomes magnetized due to its close proximity to equipment
with strong magnetism, accuracy could be aff ected. Such close prox-
imity may also damage electronic components and cause a malfunc-
tion.
