Setup and Installation
Remember, the one year service plan activates when Decagon ships
the instrument and not at the time of installation.

Installing the Batteries
Figure 1: Batteries and Indicators
With the exception of the solar-powered Em50 and Em50G, all Em50
series loggers ship with a new set of AA alkaline batteries. Open the
case and install the batteries in the proper orientation as indicated in
the battery locations. After installing the batteries, press the silver
Reset button located directly above the batteries.
Note: Em50/50G solar data loggers come with batteries installed.
Remove battery pull-tab to activate batteries.
Use only NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries with the Em50/50G
Solar option.
Note: Installing or changing the batteries in your Em50 resets the
internal real-time clock. You must connect to your Em50 using any
ECH

O System software to reset the logger clock. If you do not set
the logger clock, the time and date associated with each measurement
record incorrectly.
