6.2.2 More troubleshooting

This section explains how to respond to various  symptoms  of  trouble          
that are not indicated by an error number.

●

Nothing shows up on the display when the power is turned ON

Cause

How to solve problem

No batteries

Place batteries in the meter.

The batteries are 
loaded with the poles 
reversed.

Re-insert the batteries with the poles correctly 
oriented.

The battery voltage 
is low.

Remove the old batteries and correctly insert 
new dry-cell batteries.
Or, connect the unit to the optional AC 
adapter.
