Battery Replacement
The rechargeable battery in the EasyLog product should only be
replaced by Omega Engineering.
Repairing or Modifying
Never attempt to repair or modify EasyLog products. Dismantling
EasyLog products, including the removal of external screws, may
cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. Servicing
should only be provided by Omega Engineering. If the EasyLog
product has been submerged in water, punctured, or seriously
damaged do not use it before returning it to Omega Engineering.
Charging
Only use a USB Power Adaptor or a USB port on another device to
charge EasyLog products. Read all safety instructions for any third
party products and accessories before use with this product. Omega
Engineering is not responsible for the operation of any third party
accessories or their compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
We do not recommend charging the battery when the unit is at 40˚C
(104˚F) or above. Some of our products employ safety features to
prevent this.
Using Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port; check for obstruction in the
port, make sure that the connector matches the port and that you
have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. If the
connector and port do not join with reasonable ease they probably do
not match and should not be used.
Disposal and Recycling Information
You must dispose of EasyLog products according to relevant laws and
regulations. EasyLog products contain electronic components and
Li-Po batteries and therefore they must be disposed of separately
from household waste.
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result
in fi re, electrical shock, other injury or damage.
