Powering on the EXO Handheld
The EXO Handheld is shipped with a lithium-
ion battery pack pre-installed. The battery

For fastest charging, first turn the
handheld on.
To turn the instrument on,
press the green power key.
The Dashboard will appear after
powering on the instrument.

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

Wet mate connectors should be

cable is secured.
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.
After charging, press and hold the power key
