Blank screen

The screen appears blank when switched on.
Ensure the power adapter is attached properly and the power is switched on.
This problem can also be caused by improper adjustment of the contrast. After the power

is switched on allow the thermo-hygrometer at least one minute to complete its self-test

and power on sequence. Then, try to adjust the contrast using the A D buttons.

Error message at power up

The thermo-hygrometer reports an error during the power up self-test.
The display will remain inoperable during a power outage to preserve battery life.

Measurements will continue to be recorded as long as the battery has a charge.
On power up the thermo-hygrometer performs a series of self-tests to check the operation

of all its components and each of the sensors. The results of the self-tests are reported on

the screen. Normally, all tests report ‘OK’. Below is a table of error messages and

recommended actions to correct the error. Often these errors can be corrected by

completing the actions listed. A failure of one or more component causes error messages

to be reported.
Contact an Authorized Service Center for assistance.
