Message/Issue Cause Solution
Temp comm
abnormal The communication
between the monitor and
thermometer is abnormal. Eject and re-install the probe cover.
And then measure the temperature
again.
The measurement
site displayed on the
monitor conflicts
with that on the
thermometer. During the monitor start-
up, the thermometer has
the probe cover installed.
This causes the abnormal
start-up of the
thermometer. Keep the monitor power on and
wait till the thermometer
automatically switches off, and then
press the Scan button on the
thermometer.
