In this document, TR71A, TR72A and TR72A-S are collectively referred to as
the "TR7A Series" or simply as the "device" or "logger" .
How to Use
There are mainly two ways to set up the device and manage the recorded data as
follows.
Via Cloud: Automatic Data Upload
By using wireless LAN, the logger automatically uploads recorded data to the cloud
storage. It enables the viewing of uploaded data and the changing of settings on your
PC, smartphone and tablet.
Via PC: Setup and Download
See reverse side.
Make settings and download data by using the USB connection and PC software.
• If you are using the TR71A for vaccine storage and management, please follow this
method.

The uploaded data is available for viewing from a web browser.
The factory default setting is OFF (no auto-upload). Please follow the steps below to change the setting.
Please read the "T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this
Agreement.
• This procedure requires Internet access via wireless LAN.
• Old data that exceeds the storage period will be deleted from "T&D WebStorage Service". Please check the details at T&D WebStorage Service License Agreement > Service Details.
If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, make network settings

In general, the shorter the upload interval, the shorter the battery life.
Upload Interval
Battery Life
• All estimates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way a
guarantee of actual battery life.
• When Auto-upload is used frequently on TR71A, the measurement of the internal sensor
may rise by around 0.3° C.
Making Wireless LAN Settings
To use the WPS feature, make sure to select WPS2-PSK(AES) or disable wireless
security in your access point settings. Wireless LAN settings using WPS may not
be possible depending on the supported features or settings of your wireless
LAN access point. In this case, please make wireless network settings on PC.

button on the logger, the added device and its measurements will appear in
the [Data View] window.
Troubleshooting Tips
If measurements are not displayed:
Check the screen of the logger and make sure
<REC/STOP> to start recording. See "Recording Interval Setting above.
If the display of measurements is not refreshed:
Try making the recording interval shorter. If the recording interval is set to longer
than the upload interval, the same measurement is displayed until the next
recording occurs and the new data is uploaded.
If you lose your registration code label:
Open the software "TR7 for Windows" and connect your logger via USB to the
computer. The connected logger and its information will appear in the left boxes of
the main window. The registration code can be found here.
If you wish to save recorded data to PC:
Use "T&D Graph" that is available for download from the T&D Website.
See on the reverse side.
Changing Device Settings
It is possible to change device settings by using "T&D WebStorage Service".
In the Device Settings window click the [Settings] button to open the settings box.
Make the necessary changes and click [Send Settings].
The setting changes will not be actually applied until communication occurs be-
tween the logger and "T&D WebStorage Service". By pressing the <REC/STOP>
button on the logger, however, settings can be applied immediately.
