    Unlocked: Antenna port touching the edge

  3. Pull to remove the lid. Note: As there is an o-ring keeping the unit watertight, this action can be moderately difficult.
  4. Insert four AA batteries.
  5. Replace the lid. Ensure the antenna port is touching the edge as it was before removal.
  6. Go around the outside of the lid pressing down to ensure the cover is below the o-ring. You should not be able to see the black o-ring.
