Since hazardous materials shipping regulations are subject to fre-
quent changes, we have prepared a separate leaflet entitled “In-Situ
Inc. Shipping Instructions for Handling In-Situ Data Loggers.” This
was sent to you with your HERMIT 2000. Please refer to this leaflet
for current packaging, labeling, and shipping requirements for the
lithium-powered HERMIT 2000.
If the original materials are lost or unusable, or you have difficulties
arranging shipment, please contact our shipping and receiving de-
partment toll-free at 1-800-446-7488.
Note: No special shipping requirements apply to the non-lithium-
powered HERMIT 2000.

Warning
Most models of the HERMIT 2000 have an internal lithium

beling, and documentation are required for shipping the
lithium-powered HERMIT 2000.
