Operation
The METEON accepts two AA size (penlight) batteries. Use alkaline types for best results.
New, good quality batteries should give up to 50 days of continuous operation.
Remove the bottom cover of the enclosure to access the battery compartment. This can be
done by pulling the side
away with the index
finger to release the
bottom. Please take care
to follow the instruction
on the bottom of the
METEON to avoid
damage to the case.
Extract the battery holder
from the compartment,
and install two fresh
batteries. Notice the
polarization. Replace the
bottom cover and
connect the sensor.
The METEON is now ready for use. Switch the METEON on with the push-button switch on
the top.
To prevent that the METEON is switched off while logging, the on/off switched is mounted so
that the button has to be pressed quite deep to switch on or off. You can feel it and hear it
when the switch toggles. Press the small black button far enough with your nail or a pencil
until you feel and hear it switch.
