3. Getting Started

The SVR™ is a hand-held surface velocity radar (SVR™) gun specifically

designed to measure the surface velocity of water—great for use in

streams and rivers . Features such as Recall allows you to review the

previous measurement . Other features are selectable through the

menu option .

The radar gun features a tilt sensor system, which internally

compensates for the cosine angle effect of the vertical (pitch-down)

angle of the gun to the target . It is not necessary to manually set the

tilt sensor .

The SVR™ is designed to operate off of six (6) rechargeable Nickel-

Metal-Hydride batteries (or off the DC power cord) . When you first

receive your radar, the batteries will need to be charged for the first

time before using . Once batteries have been charged if you do not

use the SVR™ for 3-4 weeks, you will want to recharge the batteries

before use in order to get the full run time . To charge batteries for the

first time or to replace the batteries following steps 3 .6 to 3 .7 .

The battery holder is located inside the handle of the SVR™ and is

accessed by means of a sliding door . When first received, the holder

should already have batteries installed, but if not then you will need

to remove the holder and loaded it with batteries . To remove the

battery holder slide the battery cover to the right until the battery

holder is released as shown in Figure 3 .3 . The door can be completely

removed from the slide .
