If your unit does not appear to be
operating properly, first change the
battery. Replacing the battery can
eliminate most operational problems.

properly fixed to the unit.
•
Check the electrodes are firmly attached
to the pins of the leadwire.
•
Make sure that the leadwire is not
damaged or broken.
