9) When the cooling phase starts, the LED will automatically start flashing GREEN.  This 
pattern of flashing red/green will continue until the red power button is pressed again.  Power to 
the unit is toggled ON/OFF every time the power button is pressed.  When the power is OFF, the 
LED is also OFF. 
 
10) At the start of a cycle and in between the heating/cooling phases a “BEEP” sound will be 
heard from a small internal speaker to indicate the transition of phases.  If the sound interferes 
with the x-ray detector due to microphonic pick-up, the speaker can be disconnected.  To 
disconnect the speaker, remove the cover by removing the 4 small screws from the top.  Locate 
the small black jumper marked “Beep”.  Move the jumper over one pin to eliminate the sound.
