13.4 The counter continuously beeps and eventually turns off
Check Resolution
This is normally due to a low
battery. The counter requires a
given level of power to operate
correctly. If the battery doesn’t
have sufficient power it may
continuously beep to warn
you. Remember if you turn the
counter off for a few minutes
it may recover slightly but the
problem will not go away.
Recharge the battery.
Battery may be due for
replacement.
