HS2 and HS2P

On the display of my

HydroSense II, the

battery icon, the

Bluetooth icon, and the

GPS icon are visible, but

a forth icon appears to be

missing.

The forth icon is the Bluetooth connection icon.

It appears only when the HydroSense II is paired

to a computer and there is an active data

connection between them. This happens when

collecting data or changing configuration

settings. Generally, when using the computer to

collect data from the HydroSense II, focus is on

the computer screen and not the HydroSense II

display, so this icon may not be noticed.

11. Maintenance

11.1 Batteries

The HydroSense II is powered by four AA alkaline batteries. Use a high

quality battery for best operation. Battery brands considered adequate for the

power requirements of the HydroSense II include (inclusively) Energizer

®

,

Duracell

®

, and Panasonic

®

. Under normal use, the life of high quality batteries

should be close to a year. Replace the batteries when the voltage is less than

4 V. The battery indicator icon on the

main screen

(p. 14) gives a warning of

the battery status. When the indicator shows the batteries are near empty ( ),

have replacement batteries available. The HydroSense II carry case has a spare

battery pack (holder only – batteries not included).

Configuration settings, stored data, and zones are stored in flash memory such

that they will be preserved during battery replacement.

11.1.1 Replacing the Battery Pack

The process to replace the battery pack is:

1. If using the HS2P, follow the procedure provided in

Section 11.2

,

Removing Display from HS2P Pole

.

2. Place the display face down on a clean dry surface.

3. Remove the four (4) Phillips screws on the back of the displays case with

the Phillips screwdriver provided in the carry case.

4. Carefully separate the back cover from the front cover, taking care to keep

the display face down (if the unit is turned face up, the battery holder

inside may fall out and damage the battery wires).

5. Unclip the battery connector from the battery holder.

Although this connector looks similar to the terminals of a 9

V PP3 battery, it is not compatible with the 9 V battery. Do

not connect a 9 Vdc battery to the terminals, because it can

permanently damage the HydroSense II. This damage is

not covered under the warranty.

6. Connect the spare battery holder to the battery connector.
