(v2)
Quick Start Guide
TM
A superior handheld for
superior water quality
monitoring.
This document will assist the user with
initially setting up an EXO Handheld.
For full instructions, please refer
to the integrated help screens.
The EXO Handheld is a rugged,
compact device that allows the user
to display sonde readings, configure
sondes, calibrate probes, store and
retrieve data, and transfer data from
sondes to a computer.
The EXO Handheld is shipped with
a lithium-ion battery pack pre-
installed. The battery ships at ~30%
full capacity, so it should be charged
before taking it out in the field. The
handheld charge period is 9 hours.
Plug the USB connector into the
AC power adapter, computer USB
connector or external USB battery
pack, and then plug the micro USB
connector into the EXO Handheld
instrument to charge the battery.
To turn the instrument on,
press the green power key.
The Dashboard will appear after powering
on the instrument. To power off, press and
hold the power key for 1.5 seconds.
For fastest charging, ensure the handheld
is turned on initially when plugged in.
When the EXO Handheld is turned
on, the GPS function will initiate
a fix of the location. This may take some
time, and the handheld should remain
stationary and have a view of the sky.
