The software automatically suggests a system check every 6 months. When a system
check (for a specific probe) is necessary the below message appears at start-up.
This message appears every time SafetyMeter starts-up, up to a maximum of 5 times for
each probe.
Each time this message is displayed, the warnings counter of the probe decreases (see
paragraph 7.2).

"System check" mode
If a probe's status is Ï then the warnings counter must be checked :
u If one or more warnings remain, you can continue to make attenuation controls with
that probe. However please perform the system check as soon as possible.
u If a probe's warning number reaches 0, the system will not allow attenuation controls
to be performed with the probe and corresponding products will no longer be displayed
on the product selection list. To re-include these, a system check must be passed by the
corresponding probe.
Select the probe you are going to check from the list (highlighted in grey).
Make sure the probe and headphones are connected to the soundcard.
