Safe handling instructions
As Conserv manages your subscription and your data is automatically transmitted to the Conserv platform, you should not need to interact with your sensor after initial setup.
In rare instances, you may need to replace the batteries in the device. In these instances, only use batteries provided by Conserv. Make sure to follow the symbols marked on the enclosure to properly insert the batteries in the correct orientation.
After three years, Conserv will replace your sensors as part of your subscription. We will ask you to return your old sensors to us so we can refurbish them or dispose of them safely.
