Battery Information
Battery Replacement
This product does not have any user-serviceable parts except the
battery which should be replaced periodically. The battery life is affected
by battery type, ambient temperature, sample rate, sensor selection,
off-loads and LCD usage. The device has a battery status indicator on
the LCD. If the battery indication is low, or if the device seems to be
inoperable, it is recommended that the battery be replaced.
To replace the battery, locate the battery compartment cover on the
back of the unit. Remove the two (2) 3/32 hex screws and expose the
battery compartment. Use the pull tab to remove battery from
compartment. Remove the old 9V battery from the battery clips and
replace with a new 9V battery. We recommend using 9V lithium battery.
An alkaline battery is acceptable, but will yield a shorter battery life.
BATTERY WARNING
This data logger contains a lithium battery. Do not cut the
battery open, incinerate, or recharge. Do not heat lithium
batteries above the specified operating temperature.* Dispose
of the battery in accordance with local regulations.
*See the individual specification sheets at www.madgetech.com.
