11. MEANING OF MESSAGES
Messages about batteries
DESCRIPTION: the message “bAt” is shown in alterna-
tion with the temperature value.
PROBLEM
: the batteries are running low but it is still
possible to take several readings.
SOLUTION: obtain new batteries for changing them
when the signal “E.1” appears.
DESCRIPTION: the message “E.1” and the “bAt” symbor are projected, or the
unit does not turn on at all.
PROBLEM: the batteries are dead.
SOLUTION: remove the batteries immediately and replace them when neces-
sary (see par. #9).
Messages about thermometer’
s stabilization
DESCRIPTION: the projection shows “E.8”.
PROBLEM: the thermometer was moved before the light started ashing, or
the area is subject to strong electromagnetic elds.
SOLUTION: wait until the lights ash before moving the thermometer; make
certain that there are no mobile or cordless telephones in the vicinity.
DESCRIPTION: the projection shows CAL and/or a count-
down (in seconds).
PROBLEM
: the thermometer has not stabilized. The symbol
“CAL” and the blinking lights suggest that you perform the
MQCS.
SOLUTION:
- wait until the AQCS countdown has run its course without
touching the thermometer, or
- perform an MQCS (par. #8).
Messages about room temperature working range
DESCRIPTION: when you press the “face”
button,
the projection shows «Hi.4» and the value alternately.
PROBLEM: the room temperature is between 40,1 and
45,0°C (104.1 and 113.1ºF).
SOLUTION: the temperature reading can be taken but
accuracy is not guaranteed.
DESCRIPTION: the projection shows “Hi.4”.
PROBLEM: the room temperature is too high (above 45,0°C/113.0°F).
SOLUTION: move to another, cooler site and, if you are taking the body
temperature, wait for the stabilization of the device and of the subject.
