DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-
hazardous. Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
Important
If you purchased this device with the rechargeable lead acid battery pack, be aware that
the lead acid battery pack must always be stored in a charged state. If you do not intend to
install the flow computer immediately, make provisions to “top-off” the lead acid battery at
six-month intervals. Failure to do so could sharply reduce battery life or result in a dead
battery.
When power comes from an internal battery pack, the battery pack plugs into one of two
connectors.
