water leakage/damage.

1 x Wall AC Adapter
1 x MicroSD Card Reader
1 x 16GB MicroSD Card

BEFORE YOU START
To preserve battery power, your bottle will come
with the toggle switch in the “OFF” position.
Before attempting to use the device, be sure to
turn the toggle switch “ON”.
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.
IMPORTANT WARRANY INFORMATION: If the
warranty sticker on your device has been removed
or tampered with, your lifetime warranty will be
voided. You may be charged fees or denied a
return should this happen.
