- When it turns out that there is more light in the container than expected, you will get a warning. At the bottom of the screen you see the current light strength. Then go to settings and change within “Sealing service” the “maximum Lux threshold”-value to the required value. Push “Done” and seal the Babbler.

Troubleshooting
Babbler doesn't appear in the babbler list
This may be due to several causes:
- Moist cargo may block the signal signal to your smartphone. Install the Babbler next to the door rubbers. Alternatively, you can opt for our LoRa Babbler device which is less affected by water content in cargo.
- The battery may be empty. The expected battery life is 14 months. Return the device and we will provide a new one with fresh battery. Alternatively, unscrew the lid and replace the battery (see below).
I cannot connect to a Babbler
This may be due to several causes:
- Location has to be turned on.
- Bluetooth has to be turned on.
I have a csv file of the temperature log but I'm not able to calculate with the temperatures
This may be due to the fact that babbler uses European notation and csv output is American notation.

Battery is empty
- For extended battery life, use a Panasonic CR 2450 coin cell.
- After replacing the battery, end the "old" trip and create a new trip so that data can be linked to the trip.
