 In options 4, 5, and 6, you can view battery voltage, battery life, and available free memory in your
sonde to help you evaluate whether the current setup is appropriate to complete an active logging or to
begin a study in which you have defined your logging parameters. If you press key 4, 5 or 6 before
you exit this screen, it may change, since this triggers the Status screen to update information. Note
that no battery information will appear for the 600R, 600QS, 600XL, 6820V2-1, and 600 OMS V2-
1(nonbattery version) sondes.
 7-Logging provides one of two messages, active or inactive, indicating whether your sonde is in the
unattended logging mode. This logging status indicator is not relevant to logging in the discrete mode,
since there is no way to enter the Status screen without stopping discrete logging.
Press 0 or Esc to exit the Status screen and return to Main menu.
