STARTUP MESSAGES

Overview Whenever the analyzer is turned on using the On/Off key, the analyzer performs
self-checks. If a condition that should be corrected in the near future, but that
will not affect results is detected, a warning is displayed. The operator presses
the 1 key to continue with testing. If the analyzer has been customized to disable
testing under any of these conditions, the condition must be corrected and
the analyzer turned off and back on before testing will be enabled.
