  • Page 23 Useful life The device can be used up to 31/2 years after production date (1/2 year storage / 3 years useful life) on the condition that: • the buttons are not pressed for very long time. Note: Avoid jamming the device between the goods to be moni- tored in a shipment. • storage and operation of the device remains inside the rec- ommendations of the manufacturer. Especially temperatures below 0°C or +32°F could have a negative influence for the operating lifetime of the battery. The end of the lifetime of the battery is indicated by the battery indicator on the display (see chapter “1. Display explanations”). Attention • The Fridge-tag 2 L measures the ambient temperature and not the quality of the monitored goods. Its purpose is to signal if product quality evaluation is required. Berlinger & Co.
