7 Troubleshooting
Battery Power Icon
The battery icon indicates the
power level of the battery. Power
can be reduced while testing
continues, with an advisory
message displayed on the main
Select screen. If battery level falls
too low to power the analyzer, all
selection areas on the display will
be disabled until the batteries are
replaced (if you require detailed
instructions regarding how to
change the batteries see Section 9,
Cleaning and Maintenance).
Paper-out Icon
A paper-out icon appears in the top
of the title bar when the printer
paper/label roll needs replacing.
An advisory message will be
displayed on the main
Select
screen. Replace with new paper or
label roll as instructed in Section 1,
Loading the Printer Paper or Label
Roll.
Dashes in Displays
Dashes are displayed in the
Results screens and on printouts
when no text has been entered for
a field enabled in
Instrument Set
Up .
Dashes may appear next to Color
and Clarity on test result printouts.
This occurs when the instrument is
powered by batteries. Color and
Clarity are selected in the
Instrument Set Up , but no
selections have been recorded on
the
Select Appearance screens
before time-out.
The time-out on these screens is
designed to ensure that battery life
is preserved. The Color and Clarity
description may be added to the
printout in writing if needed.
Irregular or Slow Movement of
Test Table
If movement of the test table is
irregular or slow, this may be
caused by:
a) heavy buildup of dried urine on
the test table. Clean the test table
and insert as described in
Section 9, Periodic Cleaning of Test
Table.
b) low battery power. Replace the
batteries as described in Section 9,
Cleaning and Maintenance.
