Changing the Battery

The iMiniPlus displays battery low symbol on LCD display once battery
voltage falls below 2.8V. The iMiniPlus checks the battery status every
10minutes or when it is interrogated by software i.e. downloading or program
and configure.
To change the battery, turn the iMiniPlus over and unscrew the battery cover
on the back with a coin. Remove the old battery and exchange for a fresh
one. Be careful not to damage the plastic thread on the inside of the battery
compartment when removing the old battery, otherwise the battery cover may
not fit securely back and in turn may allow moisture to enter the logger.
Note, if the battery is removed for a period of longer than 30 secs, the
internal clock will need adjustment back to the present data and time. This
is done through the Program and Configure Wizard. See section Checking
the time clock.
