Replace the battery
Batteries are consumables. You can order batteries as spare parts (Page 109). Replace the
battery in plenty of time in order to guarantee the functionality of the device.
Shorter measurement and synchronization intervals result in a shorter battery life (see Chapter
Changing measurement and synchronization intervals (Android) (Page 84) or Changing
measurement and synchronization intervals (iOS) (Page 91).
The ambient conditions, such as temperature, can also influence the battery life.
If the battery status display of the connectivity module is red, the charge is 30% or less. Replace
the battery in good time. If disturbances occur in data transmission, replace the batteries.
