8. Reinstall the battery holder and attached mounting end

cap. Use the alignment tab on the battery holder (shown in
step 4) and the arrow on the logger housing as a guide as

WARNING:

 Do not cut open, incinerate, heat above 85°C 

(185°F), or recharge the lithium battery. The battery may 
explode if the logger is exposed to extreme heat or conditions 
that could damage or destroy the battery case. Do not dispose 
of the logger or battery in fire. Do not expose the contents of 
the battery to water. Dispose of the battery according to local 
regulations for lithium batteries.
