5. MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
In the field, troubleshooting is limited to replacing
the battery. Most problems have been traced to low
battery or poor battery quality. To operate this
instrument, use only fresh, high-quality batteries.
The instrument requires very little energy, which
means that while troubleshooting the unit should
be allowed to stand without the battery for 1-2
minutes to allow the internal circuits to discharge.
Discharging the remaining battery power is
especially important if the user is experiencing
problems with the unit.
