BEFORE YOU START
To preserve battery power, your bottle will come
with the battery connector disconnected. Before
attempting to use the device, be sure to connect
the battery’s connector to the circuit board power
lead.
Note: If you are not located in the US, or if you
intend to use this product anywhere other than the
US, you will need to purchase a converter in order
to use the AC wall plug in and avoid damaging the
product. Because different countries use different
voltages in their electrical wiring, you will need a
converter that adapts to the current in your
particular country.
