Replace the battery

Batteries are consumables. You can order batteries as spare parts (Page 204). Replace the
battery in plenty of time in order to guarantee the functionality of the device.
Shorter measuring and send cycles result in a shorter battery life (see Chapter Changing
measuring and send cycles (Android) (Page 115) or Changing measuring and send cycles
(iOS) (Page 124).
The ambient conditions, such as temperature, can also influence the battery life.
If the battery status display of the connectivity module is orange, then the charge is 40% or
less.
If the battery status display of the connectivity module is red, then the charge is 20% or less.
Replace the battery in good time. If disturbances occur in data transmission, replace the
batteries.
Batteries may only be replaced and connected up by qualified personnel.
