Chapter 4 Preparing LogTag(s) for use

Prolonging battery life

If your LogTag is not going to be used for extended periods of time, it may be worthwhile
to set the LogTag into "Hibernation" mode. In "Hibernation" mode the LogTag will
consume minimal power, which will extend the battery life when compared with leaving
an idle LogTag in operating mode.

While a LogTag is in "Hibernation" mode it will:

1 Not be able to record and store any new readings.

2 Not activate the Alert and OK lights.

3 Not respond to the START MARK button being pressed

The only exception is when the LogTag has been configured for 'Push button start from
hibernation' in the configuration screen. In this case pressing the START MARK button will
'wake' the product and commence logging according to the configured settings. Not every
model supports this feature.

To 'wake' a LogTag from "Hibernation" mode to normal operating mode so that it can
record and store new readings, go through the usual process of

preparing it for next use

(see "Preparing LogTag(s) for use" on page 26).

To set a LogTag to "Hibernation" mode, select the “Hibernate...” menu item in the
“LogTag...” menu.
