steps before contacting your local RTI distributor or RTI Electronics:

. Check the RTI website for system updates (
www.rti.se)
.
B
. Go through the checklist below.
The Cobia does not start:
If the Cobia does not start, try the following: Connect the charger and
retry to start the Cobia. If it does start, the battery was too low to start. If
this does not help, try to reset the Cobia as described below.
The Cobia indicates a dose lower than anticipated:
If the dose readings are too low or if the irradiation times for short
exposures are too short check that the measurement is performed so
that the radiation is perpendicular to the Cobia detector surface. Please
also make sure that the entire surface is evenly irradiated.
The Cobia gives "Field Error":
The Cobia detector surface needs to be properly irradiated. Please make
sure that the entire surface is irradiated, and that nothing is blocking the
radiation.
The external detector gives false readings:
The external detector cable is very sensitive when using certain probe
types. Try not to move the detector while attached to the Cobia. To reset
false readings, use the
Reset Measurement
on the main menu.
