2 Lift off the battery cap and set it to the

side, taking care not to misplace the springs
inside the logger or cap.

1 Clean and dry the data logger, making sure

that the surfaces are clear of contaminants or
debris. Then, loosen the battery cap with the
logger gripper provided by holding the logger
in one hand with the probe facing toward the
ground, and twisting the battery cap counter­clockwise with the other hand using the log­ger cap wrench provided. (PN DT170002)

3 Remove the old battery by tipping the

logger to its side until the battery falls out.
Dispose of the battery appropriately per local
regulations.

4 Examine the battery compartment and

threads, making sure that the wave springs
located in the cap and inside the battery
compartment are in place. If one of the
springs has fallen out, reinsert it.

6 Apply silicone grease to a new O-ring

by rubbing a small amount on your index

nger and thumb and slowly pulling the
O-ring through the grease on your ngers

place the O-ring in the groove of the bat­tery cap.

7 Holding the logger in the same posi-

tion as step 1, place a new battery in the
battery compartment of the logger, taking
care to put the “+” side of the battery fac­ing up.

removal. Tighten the cap using the log­ger cap wrench provided until snug. Wipe
away any excess silicone grease that may
have been pressed out during closure.
