held apart and also kept parallel by a plastic separator that can be slid up and down.
The position of this moulding can be adjusted to achieve the best fit of the LLI on the
rim of the cup being used.
To detect the liquid levels the probes must always be on the inside edge of any
cup or mug.
Bottom edge
The ribbed semi-circular bottom edge is part of the battery drawer. Before first use you
will be able to feel a small round tag sticking out of this bottom edge. This tag is used
to prevent the battery discharging during storage and shipment and should be pulled
out and discarded prior to the LLI being used.
Getting started
Hold the battery tag and pull it away from the moulding to activate the battery. After
doing this you will hear three confirmation beeps (and also a vibration with DK127).
This tells you that the battery is fine and that the unit is ready to be used. The removed
tag can be disposed of.
Using the Liquid Level Indicator
Hang the unit on the edge of your cup or mug with the three metal probes on the
inside. It may be possible to improve the fit on the side of the cup by sliding the plastic
separator around the probes up or down slightly. With the unit in position carefully pour
your hot or cold liquid into the cup and stop when you hear the first set of intermittent
beeps (and vibrations with DK127). At this point you can add milk to the drink if
required and stop when the continuous set of beeps is heard.
Battery replacement
To remove the battery, hold the unit with the probes side upwards and then simply
slide open the battery drawer by inserting a finger underneath in the semi-circular
recess and pull the drawer open. You will be able to feel the battery in the drawer
recess and by turning the unit over the battery will simple drop out.
The replacement CR2032 lithium battery needs to be inserted into the now empty
circular battery compartment the correct way up. The battery has one surface that is
completely smooth and the other surface where you can feel a slight recess around the
rim. The perfectly smooth surface is the +ve terminal and this should be face down in
the bottom of the compartment and the side with the slight rim recess uppermost.
Close the drawer after replacing the battery and the confirmation beeps will sound if
the battery is correctly inserted. If no beeps sound then repeat the operation but on this
occasion turn the battery over in the drawer. If no beeps are heard on this second
attempt then either the replacement battery is flat or the indicator itself is faulty.
