Why does my Extech Instruments EC170 display switch off?
If the Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments display switches off, it's likely due to the Auto Power Off feature being activated, which is normal. If the issue persists, try replacing the batteries.
What to do if my Extech Instruments EC170 won't turn on?
If you attempt to power on your Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments and there is no display, ensure you press the ON/OFF button for at least 100ms. Also, check that the batteries are correctly positioned with the correct polarity and making good contact. If the problem remains, replace the batteries or remove and re-insert the existing batteries.
What to do if my Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments displays E03 error?
If the Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments shows 'E03 - Salinity is over?range', check the device against a standard buffer solution. If the problem continues, the meter may need repair.
