Quick Start Guide
TM
A superior handheld for
superior water quality
monitoring.
This document will assist the user with
inially seng up an EXO Handheld.
For full instrucons, please refer
to the integrated help screens.
The EXO Handheld is a rugged,
compact device that allows the user
to display sonde readings, congure
sondes, calibrate probes, store and
retrieve data, and transfer data from
sondes to a computer.
The EXO Handheld is shipped with
a lithium-ion baery pack pre-
installed. The baery ships at ~30%
full capacity, so it should be charged
before taking it out in the eld. The
handheld charge period is 9 hours.
Plug the USB connector into the
AC power adapter, computer USB
connector or external USB baery
pack, and then plug the micro USB
connector into the EXO Handheld
instrument to charge the baery.
To turn the instrument on,
press the green power key.
The Dashboard will appear aer powering
on the instrument. To power o, press and
hold the power key for 1.5 seconds.
For fastest charging, ensure the handheld
is turned on inially when plugged in.
When the EXO Handheld is turned
on, the GPS funcon will iniate
a x of the locaon. This may take some
me, and the handheld should remain
staonary and have a view of the sky.
