Liquivision Battery Change Video
Admittedly, this is not our most exciting video production. However, the new battery holders fit quite tightly into the battery compartment, and it is very important to insert them right. The battery-change portion of the video is only about 3 minutes - that’s all it takes to make sure you treat your Liquivision computer well:

Liquivision Xen Feedback
From Xen customer Joe Sferazza:
I’m flippin out about the OLED display AND that a really good, simple bottom timer, that’s only a bottom timer, has finally arrived!
It’s exactly what I’ve ALWAYS WANTED to complement and backup my computer.
Simple in-my-face, at-a-quick-glance, super easy to read, time and depth. Nothing extraneous.
Now I’m looking at the XEO.
