Replacing the Battery
The tag is equipped with non-volatile memory, which means stored data is
not lost when you replace the battery.
1. Remove the battery cap.
2. Remove the discharged battery from its compartment.
For more information, see “Activating the Tag” on page 7. The lithium
battery can be harmful to the environment. Follow current procedures
for safely disposing of lithium batteries. The battery cannot be reused
or recharged.
3. Install a 3.6V lithium "A" battery, matching the negative (–) and posi-
tive (+) terminals to the symbols shown on the tag housing. The tag
will not work if you install the battery in the wrong direction
(reversed).
4. Replace the battery cap on the tag.
Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag will emit 5 short
beeps, one second apart.
Then, if the tag emits a long (1/2 second beep), that means it has an
internal sensor failure. Remove the battery and insert it again. If the
tag emits the same long (1/2 second) beep, do not use the tag.
Then, the tag will emit 2 short beeps to indicate adequate battery
voltage or 3 beeps to indicate inadequate battery voltage. 3 short beeps
means the tag needs a fresh battery.
Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag assumes that it is a
fresh battery. Inserting a used battery into a tag may result in what
appears to be a premature battery failure.
After the beep, continue tightening the cap until it is secure.
