Vaisala data loggers contain a non-chargeable lithium primary battery. When disposing of data loggers, remove the battery first. Recycle it
separately from the rest of the data logger parts.
-
Remove the 2 threaded nuts next to the connector on the logger body with pliers or wrench (for example, a 5 mm box wrench or an adjustable wrench).
-
Use a screwdriver or pen to open the logger housing: push down the clips in the two openings on the side of the logger (next to the ventilation grille) and pull the housing open.
-
Cut the pins that connect the battery to the circuit board from the ends of the battery.
-
Twist the battery off the circuit board. To prevent short circuits, protect the battery contacts with tape (or put the battery in a plastic bag) before putting it to the battery recycling
bin.
| CAUTION The lithium inside the battery can cause a fire hazard or injury if handled incorrectly. Follow these precautions:
- Do not break the battery or attempt to open it.
- Do not expose the battery to temperatures over +100 °C (212 °F).
- Do not expose the contents of the battery to water.

| Recycle the battery and the data logger electronics and housing in accordance with local waste management practices and
regulations. Do not dispose of with regular household refuse. |
