During startup, sensors and functions are checked. Also, if sensors are overdue for a
bump test or calibration, either or both of these screens will be displayed to alert you:

Note: If you do not click the button to acknowledge being informed of overdue
tests, the instrument will shut itself off in 300 seconds (5 minutes).
