Maintenance

Aside from normal care in handling and use, your Forte requires no regular maintenance.
Clean with a soft dry cloth. Never use abrasives or solvents as they may damage the unit's
paint, markings, and display screen. There are no batteries inside to replace—ever. Instead of
volatile SRAM used in most other instruments, your Forte uses nonvolatile Flash Memory
for storage, which retains information without power.

Common Problems

Below is a list of the most commonly encountered problems and diagnoses for each.

3. The Forte enters Program Mode with Program 1 selected, or the Program that was
selected the last time Global mode was exited.
If nothing at all happens when you turn the power switch on, check if one of the following
might be the issue:
