Please note this option only works when a LogTag® is automatically downloaded when
inserted into the interface, i.e. the "Enable automatic download of readings from LogTags"
option must be enabled, and the download triggered by inserting the recorder into the
interface. This does not apply when the LogTag® is downloaded through the menu of by
pressing F4.
A word of caution: If the LogTag® you have downloaded does not have a configuration password
and has also finished logging, the only visual feedback on the PC will be after the recorder has
already been re-configured for a new trip. You will only be able to access the data from the trip just

file location for storing data is always accessible to avoid loss of data.
Hibernation - Prolonging battery life
If your LogTag® is not going to be used for extended periods of time you should set it to

Not activate the Alert and OK lights.

'wake' the product and commence logging according to the configured settings. Not every
model supports this feature.
To 'wake' a LogTag® from "Hibernation" to normal operation go through the usual process
of Configuring a LogTag® for logging (see page 41).
To set a LogTag® to "Hibernation", select Hibernate... from the LogTag menu.
