16.4.1 Replacing the internal battery
It is recommended that you send the data logger in for scheduled calibration, which includes
internal battery replacement (see
(p. 103)).
WARNING:
Any damage made to the data logger during user replacement of the internal battery is not
covered under warranty.
1. Loosen or remove the screws from the sides of the data logger.
2. Pull the bottom and top of the data logger apart.
3. Carefully pinch each of the four plastic pins and pull the top circuit board away from the
mounts and connector. A wire connects the board, do not pull the board too far and
damage the wire connection.
4. Remove the lithium battery by gently prying it out with a small flat-bladed screwdriver.
5. Install new battery.
6. Reassemble the data logger. Take particular care to ensure the board is reseated tightly
onto the plastic pins and connector.
