pressure gauge (SPG) can be
used�

side of your body as you wear your Perdix 2 handset�
Range is limited to approximately 1 m (3 ft)�
A high-pressure hose may be used to relocate the
transmitter for better reception or convenience� Use
hoses rated for a working pressure of 300 bar (4500
psi) or higher�

without tools�
A backup SPG is recommended
