case, in the accessory caddy. Plug the Thermistor (Temperature

Sensor) into the mini-phone plug port located on the side of the

Sensor Unit directly above where the Black cable enters. Remove

the T-handle Probe from the bottom tray of the EDG case and use it

Temperature Sensor is not critical and only needs to be placed

beneath the surface of the material.

When you press the Test button

, the screen below will appear.

As the directions on this screen state:

Verify that the Soil Sensor is connected to the darts.

Make sure the wires connected to the darts are not crossed.

Make sure the Temperature Sensor is connected and inserted into
the soil.

The diagram on the screen illustrates which darts should be connected

for a test. Tests always involve connection to opposing dart positions, or

in the first instance A and A. The diagram on the screen below illustrates

the correct position of the darts to use.
