What do I do if the screen is frozen and the buttons are not responding

If the screen on your Biomark HPR LITE READER is frozen and the buttons are not responding, you can try powering off the reader by pressing and holding the OK button while on the main screen. After about one second, a shutdown timer will appear. Continue holding the OK button until the reader beeps twice and shuts down. If this does not work, and the device remains unresponsive, you may need to disconnect it from any power source and wait for the battery to drain, then recharge and restart it.
