WARNING
For product warnings and other important safety information, read the Zen-Me Safety Guide (zenme.io/safetyguide).

Device Overview

ZEN ME ZMHT01A Sensor - 1

Charging and Battery

The Zen-Me Sensor contains a rechargeable, built-in Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery. The battery charge lasts for up to 12 months and is recharged using the Zen-Me wireless charger.

Battery Charging
Allow 2.5 hours to charge the battery from zero to full capacity at the optimal charging temperature of 21°C (70°F). At other temperatures, the battery may take longer to charge or fail to reach 100% charge. The sensor will not charge at temperatures outside the approved range of 0°C to 45°C (32-113°F). Placing the sensor or charger in direct sunlight will heat the devices and affect charging capability.

|
---|---
1. Plug the USB cable into the Zen-Me charger. Connect the other end of the USB cable to any standard AC adapter or USB computer port.| 2. Place the sensor onto the charger so the sensor lens is facing upwards. Charging will not take place if the back of the sensor is not in
contact with the charger.
|
3. The sensor is charging when the sensor light flashes. The sensor will
not operate while charging is taking place.| 4. When charging is completed the light turns off.

NOTICE
If the battery temperature is not optimal, the battery may take longer to charge or fail to reach its full charge capacity.
WARNING
Exposing the sensor or charger to direct sunlight will heat the devices and affect charging performance.
NOTICE
The sensor will not charge when the ambient temperature is outside the approved charging temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32-113°F).

---|---
Do not place any object other than the sensor onto the wireless charger as this could damage the device.| Do not try to charge the sensor with accessories attached. This will damage the charger and sensor.

Battery Level
NOTICE
The sensor monitors the battery level and provides status information when connected to the Zen-Me App. Monitor battery status on the Sensor page of the Zen-Me App. If the status shows a “battery critical” warning, charge the sensor immediately.
WARNING
The sensor will not send “battery critical” status information if outside wireless range or unable to connect to the Zen-Me App. This could result in the sensor battery discharging fully without warning. If this happens the sensor will send a notification when it recharges and reconnects to the Zen-Me App.
If the sensor does not respond, the most common cause is that the battery has run out. Check the battery charge by pressing the sensor Power Button. If the sensor light fades or fails to flash, the battery has discharged completely and must be recharged.

|
---|---
To find out if the battery charge is low, press the sensor Power Button.| If the sensor light fades or fails to flash, the battery charge is very low and must be recharged.

Battery Life

NOTICE
Battery life and the rate of power consumption are affected by a number of factors:

STYLE OF USE
Depending on how the sensor is used, it has more or fewer features enabled. The more features activated, the greater the power demand.
INTENSITY OF MEASUREMENT
The frequency settings selected for data acquisition and transmission influence the rate of power usage (see table below).
WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT
High levels of wireless traffic or having numerous devices share the same space will increase the sensor’s power consumption.

ZEN ME ZMHT01A Sensor - 18

(This is a simplified illustration of the effect on intensity vs. battery consumption. The relative consumption is also affected by the frequency of reading data from the sensor, and radio interference in the usage environment).

WARNING
Battery life varies by use, wireless coverage, configuration, and many other factors; actual results will vary.

Sensor Flight Mode

During Flight Mode, your sensor continues to gather data but does not connect or stream data to your mobile device.
When flying, this ensures your sensor does not interfere with aircraft communications systems.
Flight Mode can also be used to save battery power if you are not connecting to your sensor for long periods of time.
NOTICE
Turning on Flight Mode reduces power consumption by shutting down the sensor’s Bluetooth radio functionality. This is automatically reactivated and connection restored when Flight Mode is turned off.
Turning on Flight Mode
Go to the Sensor Page at your Profile Page on the Zen-Me App and choose the sensor you want to activate in Flight Mode. Tap the Flight Mode button on the Sensor Page and follow the sensor lights.

|
---|---
1. Turn on Flight Mode by tapping the Flight Mode button on the Sensor Page of the Zen-Me App. Ensure the sensor is within range.| 2. 3 long (2 seconds) flashes indicate that Flight Mode is turned on.

Your sensor will monitor and gather data normally while in Flight Mode. However, you will not be able to connect and stream data from your sensor before turning Flight Mode off.

Turning off Flight Mode

| ZEN ME ZMHT01A Sensor - 36
---|---
1. Press the power button once to deactivate Flight Mode.| 2. 2 long (2 seconds) flashes indicate that Flight Mode is turning off.

Once flight Mode is switched off you can connect the app with the sensor again.

NOTICE
You can use Flight Mode to save battery on your sensor if you will not connect your sensor for a long time. This will shut down the Bluetooth Radio but keeps the sensor operating. Once you return you can activate the radio by turning the flight mode off and connecting to your sensor again.

Keeping the Sensor Lens Clean

NOTICE
The sensor lens takes measurements from the sensor’s surroundings and continually provides internal instruments with information.
The sensor lens must always be kept free from water, liquids, dust, or other particles. Blocked holes in the sensor lens could affect the performance of your sensor.
