MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Keep the UV light probes clean and their sensors under their protective covers when not in use. 

When the icon 

appears in the left corner of the display, it’s time to replace the six

“AA” batteries that power the instrument (although measurements will remain valid for
several hours after the low-battery indicator first appears). Replacing the batteries requires
removing the two screws that hold the battery compartment cover in place, as explained in
Step 1of the setup procedure on page 5. After inserting fresh batteries in the correct
orientation, tighten the screws to secure the cover.
