5.2 Non-fatal Error Messages
If a
NON-FATAL
message appears, the instrument can still be used,
with no effect on its operation or accuracy.
There are two such messages:
Low Power:
Either
change
the disposable batteries as
described in the following Section, or
recharge
the rechargeable unit.
The rechargeable power unit, when fully charged, should provide
enough power for
at least
five hundred complete breath tests
[depending on conditions of usage].
Charge the system when this low power warning message appears,
as there is enough power for only about twenty more complete breath
test procedures [also depending on conditions of usage]. The power
unit can be recharged from either the mains or 12 volts DC, using the
appropriate charger as supplied.
Low Remaining Test Memory:
The
500
records in its memory the complete file of data from around
2,500 subject breath tests. This memory can then be down-loaded to
a PC. In the unlikely event that the memory becomes full, the
following sequence of messages will appear.
MEMORY FULL
is
fatal, in that the instrument cannot be used for breath analysis until
the stored data has been downloaded and the memory cleared:
Low Memory:
20 Tests
!
Low Memory:
6 Tests!
MEMORY FULL!
Out of Use!
