MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Storing Your Kestrel

Avoid storing your Kestrel where it will be exposed to temperatures
below -30°C [-22°F] or above 80° C [176° F] for extended periods of
time. Doing so may cause permanent damage. (Note that the inside
of a car parked in the hot sun can reach very high temperatures.)

Use of the Lanyard and Cover

The cover can be captured on the lanyard to avoid loss. First, remove
the cord poplock. Then feed the lanyard end through the large opening
in the over and out the slot. Replace the poplock on the lanyard.

Replacing the Battery

When your display becomes dim or disappears,
replace the battery. Use a large coin to open the
battery compartment. Insert a new CR2032 coin
cell (available where watch batteries are sold), positive
(+) pole up. When replacing the battery door, be sure to
keep the black rubber o-ring seated in the groove on
the case back.
Sincerely,
