Figure 1: MicroLite battery compartment
As shown in the figure above, the MicroLite internal lithium battery is located under a
removable plastic cover.
To replace the battery, simply use the groove in the plastic cover to twist the cover open,
and pull out the battery. When twisting the cover back into position, ensure that the small
ridge on the battery cover is in line with the similar ridge on the logger case, as indicated
in the figure below.

Note:
Be sure to twist the plastic cover properly back into a sealed position, to maintain
the MicroLite’s dust and waterproof IP68 compliancy.
As stated previously, replacing the battery
will lose the MicroLite’s time/date settings.
These can be restored the next time you Setup the logger using MicroLab Lite.
After replacing the battery, the MicroLite LCD will display PUSH, indicating it is in Push
to Run mode.
Once you connect the logger to the PC
’s USB port, you will be able to run the logger
without the need for the magnet.
In addition, you will still be able to download the data previously recorded onto the
MicroLite, before you removed the battery. This data is not lost.

Using the MicroLite Magnet
The MicroLite includes the magnet accessory (stored in the magnet placeholder in the
MicroLite packaging).
This magnet is used to activate the logger when in
Push to Run
mode. There is a reed
relay on the MicroLite’s circuit board which is closed using the magnet, thereby
activating the logger.
Ensure ridge on
cover and on
logger case are in
line
