Safety Information
BURSTING HAZARD
Should water enter the miniDOT Logger and come into contact with the enclosed batteries,
then the batteries may generate gas, causing the internal pressure to increase. This gas will
likely exit via the same location where the water entered, but not necessarily. The miniDOT
Logger is designed to release internal pressure, as the black end cap is unscrewed, prior to
the disengagement of the black end cap threads. If internal pressure is suspected, then treat
the miniDOT Logger with extreme caution.
