INSTRUMENT WILL NOT SWITCH OFF

DOES OFF APPEAR ON DIGITAL DISPLAY?
The OFF legend should appear in the LCD display to
indicate the OFF sequence. This happens when instrument
has been running for approximately 30 minutes or the
MEASURE button has been pressed twice in rapid
succession.
Check if the instrument is being calibrated, Depot checked
or is connected to an alarm unit. In the communications
mode, the 30 minute time is inhibited and the instrument
will continue to run until switched off manually or until the
batteries are exhausted.

ACTION:

CHECK OFF LEGEND APPEARS

DOES MEASURE PUSH-BUTTON INITIATE OFF
SEQUENCE?
Two rapid operations of measure button should cause
instrument to enter OFF sequence and the OFF flag to
appear in display.
Operation of push-button is usually accompanied by a
bleep from internal buzzer unless instrument is in
communications mode.

ACTION:

CHECK OPERATION OF MEASURE
PUSH-BUTTON
