Is data lost when a Mini Buoy runs out of battery?

No. The data will be preserved even if a Mini Buoy runs out of battery.

Do I need to remove erroneous acceleration data?

Removing erroneous data is important for correctly processing acceleration data. You can do this either in the MSR software (see 5  Export) or the Mini Buoy App (see 6.2.3 Filter data (optional)).

How do I fix the No hardware found! error when trying to read an MSR145 logger?

Check that the USB cable is firmly connected to the MSR145 logger and PC. Restart the MSR software. This should fix the problem.

How do I turn off the MSR145?

Unless the MSR145 has been configured to be turned off using the button on the side of a logger, the MSR145 is turned off either when reading the data using the MSR software (a prompt will ask if you want to terminate the record, see 5  Export) or until the battery runs out.

How do I charge the MSR145?

The MSR145 is charged when connected to a PC. A steady yellow light indicates the logger is charging. A flashing yellow light, or no light indicates the logger is fully charged.

Does the MSR145 need to be fully charged before being stored?

Yes. The MSR145 should be fully charged after 3 hours.
