14 TROUBLESHOOTING
& SUPPORT
If you experience any type of problem with your Testire, turn the
power off, wait for a few seconds and then turn the power back on.
This may clear the fault. If the fault continues, the following information
may help you solve the problem. If you are unable to identify the cause
of the problem, please visit detectortesters.com/support

14.1 IDENTIFYING ERRORS

• When an error occurs, the Status LED will appear red and
the Test LED will not be illuminated. This can be clearly seen
without access to the screen when the unit is at height.
• The unit will emit a 2 second warning sound (if the sound is
enabled) and cease to function further. The screen will display
the error message.
• In some cases the error message may be cleared from the
screen by pressing the escape key. This may enable the unit
to continue operating, although if the error has not been
corrected the error message may reappear immediately on
screen.
• You will need to correct the error in order to proceed. For
example, if the battery is Low, the screen will display the
message 'Replace Battery'. In this case, no further testing can
be carried out until the Battery Baton has been recharged or
replaced.
