Connect the PST to 115 VAC via the AC adapter to "top off" the battery.
After several hours or overnight, disconnect.

Connect the pressure transducer(s), enter the multiplier(s) - see *4 Table,
below. Verify reasonable readings.

Check desiccant box. Verify tight connections in terminal strip. Confirm
the presence of desiccant (this should be changed every 3-6 months) and
porous plastic filter (see Figure 1-1, Section 1).

Turn the PST power switch on (Figure 1-5, Section 1). The CR10 will go
through a memory check. When ":96" appears on the screen, go on to
the next step (some PST versions will display a meaningless 71 and E99
before the :96 appears).

Set the datalogger clock: year, day-of-year (see the table at the back of
this prompt sheet), and military time.

If using a computer, escape from the program PST to the DOS prompt
before using the keyboard display.
