Em50 Series 3 SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Five AA-size Alkaline batteries power the Em50. With the radio
or cellular modules disabled, a set of Alkaline or Lithium batteries
can last for several years. The battery life for Em50Gs and Em50Rs
varies depending on how you set up the transmission. (Section 6.)
Battery power in the Em50R and Em50G can last from six months
to over a year. You can check the battery level status when the
Em50 is connected using any ECH2O software. When the battery
life indicator shows that your Em50 batteries are less than 5%, you
should replace them.

Installing Software

The ECH20 Utility and DataTrac 3 software (installation USB Drive
attached to the cover of this manual) allows you to collect and man-
age data from your device.
Note: This manual documents ECH20 Utility. Most tasks that can
be performed using the ECH20 Utility can also be accomplished using
DataTrac 3. For more information about using DataTrac 3, please
refer to the DataTrac 3 Manual.
To install ECH20 Utility, DataTrac 3, or Em50G software, plug the
USB Drive into your computer and wait for it to auto-launch. If it
does not launch, go to My Computer, select the USB Drive, and click
double click on the software file. A driver for the accompanying USB
cable can also be installed at this time.
Occasionally, new versions of ECH2O System software become avail-
able on Decagon's website.
You can find your current software version in the "About" option
of the Help menu in the ECH20 Utility and DataTrac 3. If you are
connected to the Internet, select "Check for Updates" in the Help
menu to see if there is a newer version available.
