    Inspect the myDatalog4 regularly for mechanical damage. Check all cables for mechanical damage at regular intervals. Clean the myDatalog4 with a soft, moist cloth. Use a mild cleaning agent, if necessary. 11.2 Accu or battery pack While battery packs are intended for single use and must be disposed of accordingly after depletion, accu packs can be recharged and used again and again.
  • Page 112 4. Briefly (approx. 1 sec.) activate the solenoid switch (see "Operating elements" on page 57) to prepare the myDatalog4 for the removal of the rechargeable battery pack. This ensures that the most recently generated data is saved permanently. If the device is not notified that the rechargeable battery pack is being removed by briefly pressing the solenoid switch, the meas- urement data from the last half an hour can be lost.
