holders in place and remove the battery holder.
Caution
Be sure to remove only one battery at a time.
Otherwise, you will lose all data stored in memory.
3)Replace the old battery with a new one, making sure
that the positive (+) side of the new battery is facing up
(so you can see it).
4)Replace the battery holder and secure it by tightening its screw.
• Be careful that you do not over tighten the screw.
5)Repeat steps 2) through 4) for another battery.
• Be sure to replace all two batteries. Never mix old batteries with new ones, and be sure to use
CR2032 lithium batteries only.

it details how to set up the communications parameters and how to set up the SF-4300R to receive
data. By following these instructions carefully, you can be ensured of successful communications
every time.
To connect two SF Units
1.Check to make sure that the power of the two SF Units is switched off.
2.Remove the covers from the connectors on the two SF Units.
3.Connect the two SF Units using the optional SB-60/62 cable. You can also connect them using
an SB-60/62 cable.
Important
Be sure to replace the connector covers on the SF Units when you are not performing data
communications.
4)Check the hardware parameters.
