Using the same Gauge Control Sheet (PPS25.xls) that was used when running the gauges,
record the exact date and time at which the gauges were pulled from the nipple, as well as
the time the batteries were released from each gauge (the time the batteries were released
will help you either verify if the time they were plugged into the gauges was recorded
correctly or to calculate this time if it was not recorded initially).

Once the gauges have been retrieved from the well, un-tight all connections.
4.8.3
Open the battery housing of both recorders, and try to disconnect both batteries in the same
