memory cards supplied. The logger is compatible with microSD cards up to
2 GB.

Solution:
circuits or open circuits at the terminals. Check if the cable is damaged. Also
check if the anemometer type is set correctly, as this affects the speed
calculations.
The batteries go flat quite quickly.

Ensure that the batteries are good-quality alkaline type. These will ensure
Solution:
longer life, especially at low temperatures. Ensure that the microSD memory
card is inserted properly and does not have large amounts of data stored on
it. Do not use the 10-second logging interval for normal long-term logging,
as this uses more power. Make sure there are no short circuits in the sensor
connections and that the sensors are working correctly.
