EXO Handheld Instrument

Quick Start Guide
A superior handheld for
superior water quality
monitoring.
This document will assist the user with
initially setting up an EXO Handheld.
The EXO Handheld is a rugged,
compact device that allows the user
to display sonde readings, configure
sondes, calibrate probes, store and
retrieve data, and transfer data from
sondes to a computer.
The EXO Handheld is shipped with
a lithium-ion battery pack pre-
installed. The battery ships at ~30%
full capacity, so it should be charged
before taking it out in the field. The
handheld charge period is 9 hours.
Plug the USB connector into the
AC power adapter, computer USB
connector or external USB battery
pack, and then plug the micro USB
connector into the EXO Handheld
instrument to charge the battery.
Connecting to the Sonde
1. Attach the cable to the sonde.
Press in the male 6-pin
connector, then screw down the
retaining collar. Attach the cable's
strain relief to the sonde's bail
with a carabiner.
2. Attach the cable to the handheld.
Press on the female 6-pin connector,
and then screw down the
retaining collar.

Unpacking and Inspection
Your new EXO Handheld shipment
contains the following:
• EXO Handheld • Micro USB cable
• USB female to micro USB male adapter
• AC power supply
Remove the equipment from the shipping
box. Check the packaging carefully to
ensure that all components are present.
If the handheld or any of the accessories
are damaged or if a part is missing, please
contact info@ysi.com
For fastest charging, ensure the handheld
is turned on initially when plugged in.
To turn the instrument on,
press the green power key.
The Dashboard will appear after powering
on the instrument. To power off, press and
hold the power key for 1.5 seconds.
When the EXO Handheld is turned
on, the GPS function will initiate
a fix of the location. This may take some
time, and the handheld should remain
stationary and have a view of the sky.
Wet mate connectors should be
properly lubricated at all times to
ensure a proper seal.
3. The EXO handheld will automatically
connect to the sonde when the field
cable is secured.
