TR71A / TR72A / TR72A-S are data loggers for measuring and recording temperature and humidity. The recorded data can be either directly downloaded to a smartphone or computer, or automatically uploaded to the cloud service via wireless LAN. By using the cloud service, it is possible to receive a warning notification by email when a deviation such as temperature excursion is detected. Also, the TR71A has a vaccine mode that is useful for managing vaccine temperature. The vaccine mode configuration can be done from a smartphone or computer.

About Battery Replacement
Three stages of diminishing battery life are described below. It is
recommended to replace the batteries at stage 1.
. When it is time for the battery to be replaced, a battery life warning
mark will appear.
· Recording will continue as it was before the battery replacement. · It is
possible to download all saved recorded data.
. If you continue to use the device without replacing the batteries,
the display will show this message and recording will stop.
· Recording will remain stopped until you start recording. However, if the
device communicates with the “T&D WebStorage Service” and the recording data
is successfully uploaded, recording will resume.
· It is still possible to download all saved recorded data. Please note that
if you start recording before the recorded data is downloaded to a PC or
uploaded to the server, all recorded data in the device will be lost.
. If the batteries are further left unchanged, the device will then turn
off the LCD display and reset the internal clock.
· Recording will remain stopped until you start recording. However, if the
device communicates with the “T&D WebStorage Service” and the recording data
is successfully uploaded, it will automatically synchronize the clock with the
server and resume the recording.
· If auto-upload is set to OFF, you will need to set the clock again. · It is
still possible to download all saved recorded data. Please note that if you
start recording before the
recorded data is downloaded to a PC or uploaded to the server, all recorded
data in the device will be lost.
