This version of the Metron has a plug in board fitted into the D type connector on the front of
the main circuit board. This additional board incorporates the real time clock with a battery
backup. When the main battery is connected the real time clock draws it power from this, but
when power is removed the small on board battery takes over and this has a life of 4 years.

WARNINGS
Safety
Read carefully these instructions and notes before powering IN4MA Metron. For each
situation please follow the specific instructions.
The Metron is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is powered, it will send and
receive radio frequency (RF) signals.
Operating the Metron close to other electrical equipment such as television, phone, radios
and personal computer, may cause interference.
DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING TO THE 9 PIN D TYPE
CONNECTOR ON THE FRONT OF THE BOARD
WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM POWELECTRICS
LIMITED.
Interference
The Metron, like all wireless devices, is subject to interferences that may reduce its
performance.
Road Safety
Do not use the Metron while driving. In case of use on cars, it is necessary to check that
electronic equipment is shielded against RF signal. Do not place the Metron over the air bag
or in the air bag deployment area.
Hospital Safety
Do not use the Metron near health equipment, especially pacemaker and hearing aids, to
avoid potential interferences. The Metron is a not mobile phone; do not use it in direct contact
with the human body. Switch it off in hospitals, and in any other type of medical centre.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Explosive Materials
Do not use the Metron in refueling points, near fuel or chemicals. Do not use the Metron
where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulation or instruction.
Do not use the Metron in direct contact with the human body; do not touch the antenna if not
necessary when the Metron is powered. Use approved accessories and batteries only. Do not
connect incompatible products.
