      First, press and hold the MENU button for at least 2 seconds. Then, check the connection to the vehicle battery. If that doesn't work, the vehicle battery may be too low (below 1 volt), so fully charge it and retest. Also, the analyzer’s AA batteries may need replacement. Finally, if the analyzer still doesn't power on when you press and hold the button, replace the AA batteries.
