This product may contain substances that can be hazardous to the environment if not disposed of
properly. Electrical and electronic equipment should never be disposed of with general household waste
but must be separately collected for their proper treatment and recovery. The crossed-out bin symbol,
placed on the product, reminds you of the need to dispose of the product correctly at the end of its life.
In this way you will assist in the recovery, recycling and re-use of many of the materials used in this
product. At the end of the life of your product please contact your distributor for information on collection
arrangements.
Most batteries end up in landfill where their hazardous material can leach into the soil and cause harm.
It is much more environmentally friendly to recycle batteries in a safe, correct manner. Follow applicable
country, state, and local regulations for disposal/recycling of the ½AA battery supplied with your data logger.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament
stipulates that certain hazardous substances must not be present above defined levels in products.
This data logging product is manufactured to be RoHS compliant.

The TW-USB data logger you have purchased is a stand-alone device. All communication with the data
logger is via a USB port of a PC which has ThermoWork’s configuration software and driver installed. To
begin take the following steps:
1. Ensure the battery is correctly installed
2. Insert the data logger into an available USB port on your PC
3. Double click on the EasyLog USB icon on your Windows™desktop
This will load the configuration software. Here you can setup the data logger for a new log, stop and
download a data logger that has been recording, view previously saved data in graph format, and check
the current status of the attached data logger (including the serial number). Follow screen instructions
or consult the help file for further information on running the software.
When setup is complete the data logger should be removed from the USB port to begin recording. If
you would like advice on how best to use the data logger for a particular application, please contact
Thermowork’s representative.
