4 First use / SIM card / Battery
4.1 Introduction and warnings
The following sections describe what to do to remove the battery insulator, to insert a
SIM card into the device and to change the battery.
In all cases, the housing of the SmartEAR must be opened to gain access to the
electronics module of the device.
NOTICE
The device has sensitive semiconductor components
Always be careful not to damage any components. Never use force.
Work in a clean environment and with clean hands. No dirt or moisture
should enter the interior of the unit.
NOTICE
Danger of condensation inside the housing
The unit should be opened at medium ambient temperature.
If the unit was previously in a cold environment, it should first be allowed to
acclimate at medium ambient temperature before it is opened. Otherwise,
after opening and closing, condensation may form inside the unit.
4.2 First use
When SmartEAR is shipped, there is a round plastic disc inserted between the positive
pole of the battery and the battery carrier. It prevents the battery from being discharged
and the device from being accidentally switched on.
Before using a SmartEAR logger for the first time, you must remove this plastic disc
from it. Proceed as follows:
Step
Description
1
The unit must be switched off (status LED permanently off).
2
You will need a Torx 20 screwdriver.
Unscrew the two screws on the left and right of the SmartEAR completely.

Step
Description
3
Slowly pull the blue housing upwards off the
electronics module.
Note! The battery could fall out.
4
Remove the battery.
5
Remove the plastic disc.
6
If the device does not yet have a SIM card, insert
one (Nano-SIM).
7
Before closing the unit with the housing again,
make sure that the O-rings on the electronics
module are clean. The inside of the housing must
be clean and dry.
8
Place the battery in the unit. The positive pole must
point upwards.
9
Place the blue housing on the electronics module.
10
Press the housing down slightly to be able to screw
the two screws back in. Gently tighten the two
screws.

First use / SIM card / Battery

4.3 Changing the SIM card
The slot for the nano SIM card is located on the back of the electronics module.
To change the inserted SIM card, open the SmartEAR device as described in
section 4.2.
Remove the existing card from the slot and slide the new card into the slot as shown in
the picture.
To close the unit, follow the steps in section 4.2.
4.4 Changing the battery
To change the SmartEAR battery, open the device as described in section 4.2.
Remove the existing battery and insert the new one. The positive pole of the battery
must point upwards.
It is important that the characteristics of the new battery meet the requirements of the
unit.
SebaKMT uses Li-ion batteries, type LSH-20, from the company SAFT for
SmartEAR.
We expressly recommend using only these batteries!
If other batteries are used, SebaKMT does not guarantee successful data
transmission and the actual runtime.
To close the unit, follow the steps in section 4.2.

Switching SmartEAR on/off
16
5 Switching SmartEAR on/off
SmartEAR features an internal magnet switch for switching it on and off.
Move the supplied magnet over the On/Off contact field in the area between the
I/O symbol and the antenna.
The status LED lights up three times. The unit is then activated and the LED flashes at
regular intervals.
To switch off the unit, hold the magnet over the area between the I/O symbol and the
antenna for 4 seconds. The LED lights up continuously during this time.
As soon as the light changes to flashing, you can remove the magnet. Shortly
afterwards, the unit switches off. The LED goes out.
Of course, instead of using the supplied magnet you can also use another
magnet, e.g. the magnetic foot of a logger.
If the status LED of the SmartEAR does not respond, the magnet used is not
strong enough.
