Preparation
1. Prior to removing the existing index and index cover, verify that
the transponder style is compatible with the meter style.

battery wires are tucked neatly beside it, out of the way of the
wriggler and other transponder components.
NOTE: When transporting transponders to the field for installation
please take care not to jar the housing and dislodge the battery from
the bracket.
