Problem: Date and time settings are not retained.
Cause: The DataFID has not been used for 3 months or more and the internal battery has been
discharged.
Action: Turn the DataFID on and allow it to run until a “LoBatt” status appears. This will
take approximately 15 hours. Recharge the battery overnight. Repeat this
procedure for 3 or 4 days. While the DataFID is running the internal battery is
charging.
Problem: Cannot fill the hydrogen fuel cylinder.

one.

problems, the unit must be returned for repair or replacement.
