Troubleshooting

Tono-Pen Will Not Take A Reading

• Tip may be dirty. Perform the cleaning procedure. If problem persists, send the pen in for
service.
• Ocu-Film + may be installed incorrectly. Refer to Ocu-Film + Instructions on reverse.
• Use blue Reichert brand Ocu-Film + ONLY. Use of any other brand tip cover may affect read-
ings and may void your warranty.
• If the above does not resolve the issue, STOP and send the unit in for repair.

Tono-Pen Asks to [CAL] Often

• Anytime the button is pressed twice within 1.5 seconds the Tono-Pen will enter into calibration mode.
• Tip may be dirty. Perform the cleaning procedure. If problem persists, send the pen in for service.

Tono-Pen Turns Off

• Unit is going into power saving mode. If no measurements are taken within 15 seconds, the
Tono-Pen will go into battery saving mode. Turn it back on by pressing the button once.
• Batteries may be low. Replace the batteries, then perform the calibration procedure.
• If [CAL] is seen followed by a single row of dashes [- - - - ] , the pen needs to be calibrated.
Press the button twice to initiate calibration. [CAL] should appear and stay on the screen.
If [- - - - ] appears, press the button twice, either faster or slower, until [CAL] stays on the screen.

Tono-Pen Calibrates [bAd]

• Tip may be dirty. Perform the cleaning procedure no more than 3 times consecutively. If
problem persists, send the pen in for service.
• Pen is being flipped up too slowly. The pen should be turned up quickly and smoothly when
[UP] appears.
