Replacing Alkaline Batteries

Carry out as follows.
1. Ensure the logger is powered off: press green and red buttons together,
and hold for 5 seconds.
2. On the side of the logger, remove the single screw securing the battery-
compartment door. See photo, p. 11.
3. Turn the logger to let the old batteries slide out of the housing, one at a
time, and dispose of them appropriately (see p. 34).
4. Slide new batteries into the housing, one at a time, observing polarity.
Check that you are using the correct battery type for the battery housing
fitted. If in doubt, remove the housing (see p. 23) and check the label on it.
