Kestrel Battery Shim

Replacement battery shim for the following models of Kestrel weather meters with inbuilt digital compass:

• Kestrel 4500
• Kestrel 4600
• Kestrel 4500 with HORUS
• Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics

The battery shim ensures that the magnetic signature from the AAA batteries does not influence the compass readings from the Kestrel meter.

Please follow the installation instructions below:

1. Insert the batteries as shown on the back door.
2. Insert the shim between the batteries with the clear tab out and folded over the end of the battery with the positive pole (raised end).
3. Press the tab down over the battery with the raised end through the hole.
4. Close the door tightly.
