TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom, Likely Problem and Solution

If you should experience any difficulty when using your BIOLOG 3000

please review the suggestions for troubleshooting some minor difficulties

presented below. If you cannot resolve the difficulty after following these

procedures, please contact your supplier, or call QRS Diagnostic, LLC.

No power: the unit is off after being on.

When not engaged in real-time monitoring, the BIOLOG 3000

will

automatically shut off after the period of time specified, (section 2.6.3

power down), to conserve battery power. Move the ON/OFF Switch to

the OFF position, then turn the unit ON again.
If the unit shuts down during download to PC or printing, it is likely that

the batteries are flat or are not of the recommended type. Replace the

batteries if this is occurring. Turning off the backlight may give some

extra operational time if no fresh batteries are immediately available.

NOTE:

Data stored in memory will not be lost.

No power: the unit will not turn on.

The batteries are flat or they are not properly installed. Remove the

Battery Compartment cover and check the position of the batteries (refer

to section 2.1.1 Installing the batteries).
Try adjusting the contrast knob. If misadjusted, no display will be visible.
If the unit is more than 4 years old, the unit may need servicing. Ensure

that the previous steps have been taken, and if necessary return it to an

authorized QRS Diagnostic, LLC service center.

'BATT' Message Appears in the Display.

Battery voltage has dropped below an acceptable level. The

BATT

message will remain on the screen until the batteries have been

replaced. Complete the procedure and change the batteries as soon as

possible.
