Probe problems can be caused by:
•
an occluded probe
•
a blocked wax filter
Leakage and probe occlusion is shown on the screen during testing.
Probe status
If there is leakage or if the probe is blocked during testing, the window in the top right corner of the screen visualizes the
problem. Adjust the position of the probe, or clean the probe, and continue testing.
