first turned on the display will momentarily display all LCD
segments. During this period diagnostic tests are being
conducted to insure the circuits are functioning correctly.
The unit will activate the audible and visual alarms for about
1 second. The LCD will flash continuously indicating the
unit is in the unlocked position ready for calibration.
Note: When batteries are first installed or power is lost for any
reason the instrument defaults to the calibration mode. All
keys except the CAL and ON/Off (I/O) keys are inoperable
until a successful calibration is achieved.
