Unpack and inspect the shipped parts; check the materials of the above shipping list and be sure that
no damage has occurred during transport.
2.2.1 Internal and external battery packs
The probe is shipped without batteries installed. Therefore, if needed, install the battery. A detailed
description can be found in Appendix “A” and on the OS310 flyer. In case the high-voltage telemetry is
installed, the internal battery must not be present or installable. In this case it is mandatory to use
external submersible battery pack for unattended self-recording operations.
