Grasping only the Manta and EBP locking sleeve (the portion of the lower EPB with the serrations), turn
the EBP locking sleeve so that it screws into the threads where the Underwater Cable locking sleeve is
normally fitted. You may have to jiggle the EBP a bit so that the hexagonal sleeve fits properly over the
hexagonal base of the connector.
6
Tighten the EBP locking sleeve firmly, but not so tightly that you will have difficulty removing it later.

Remember that you must first activate Manta Logging by clicking the “Manta2 Logging is OFF” Hot
Button so that it changes to “Manta Logging is ON”. (C.3, E.5)
8
Remember to look for the red LED to blink five times to confirm that Logging is activated, and the
green LED blink briefly to confirm that the Manta is receiving adequate voltage to start Logging.
Your Manta is now logging, and will continue logging until you remove the EBP, or your batteries are depleted.
To remove the EBP, grasp the Manta with one hand and the EBP locking sleeve with the other, and unscrew the
EBP locking sleeve. Pull the Manta and EBP apart
E.9 Batteries and Battery Life
When the batteries in a Manta battery pack are spent, logging simply ceases. It may begin again after a
few hours if your batteries recover sufficiently during that time.
Unfortunately, there are so many different combinations of sensors, water temperature, Logging
Intervals, types of batteries, etc. that estimation of battery life may not be very accurate. We recommend
that you run the Manta in the field to see how long the batteries will last in your specific application.
We recommend using the highest quality alkaline batteries available, such as Duracell Copper Tops.
Rechargeable batteries can be used, but their battery life is typically only half that of non-rechargeable
batteries.
Twist only the EBP locking sleeve - twisting the entire EBP body only creates unhappiness.
