Troubleshooting
6.1 Notes about Switching OFF.
Like other instruments that are based on a microcomputer core, the KT-10 v2 meter may
be sensitive, in some specific circumstances, on external distortion (strong
electromagnetic field, discharge) and may show improper operational behaviour. The
most common symptom is no reaction on any of the button presses. To bring the unit
back in operational condition it is necessary to switch OFF and then switch ON the unit.
To simplify the OFF/ON process, press and hold the Up & Down button together. This
way, the user can switch OFF the unit in situation when there is no software switch
accessible the way of contemporary push of button up and down; every time regardless of
any working status of the unit.
6.2 KT-10 v2 Powers OFF during measurement
Battery:
Confirm that the 2 AA batteries are at proper voltage level. Replace if
necessary.
Button:
It may be possible that both the UP and DOWN buttons are accidently
being pressed at the same-time instead of a single UP or DOWN button.
Re-position your finger on the button so that only the intended button
gets pressed.
Battery Cap:
It may be possible that the spring tension of the battery cap has become
weak, causing intermittent contact with the batteries when the KT-10 v2
is moved around during a measurement. A battery cap replacement will
be required.
