into Smart-Tracker devices. Reversing polarity by inserting the batteries
incorrectly can cause the product to heat up and may lead to a battery liquid
leak. Use only batteries recommended by Thermo Scientific. Battery life
depends on target temperatures. Removing the battery erases data contained
in module memory. See Section 7 - Appendix 1 for more details on battery
life.
