Page 17: Replacing The Battery And Helpful Information
Replacing the Battery and Other Useful Information Battery Replacement: Battery replacement can be done in the field, but preferably will be done between missions while the device is connected to the PC. A super capacitor installed on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) will provide power to the circuitry during field battery replacement.
Page 18 Other Useful Information, cont. Device Storage: When the device is not in use, it is good practice to keep the Digi-Shock power up via the USB port during storage. This will save the installed battery and keep the super capacitor charged. Mission Control Updates: For your convenience, the latest Mission Control software version is available for download at no cost on our website under the Support Section.
