Solving Problems

Your CLINITEK
give you trouble-free operation if
you follow the directions for using
and cleaning the instrument. If
a problem occurs, however, an
error message will be displayed.
Follow the steps on the next
page to help solve the problem.
If the printer is being used,
most error messages will also
show the word HELP. You can
press the key under this word to
print a description of the error
and how to correct it. Press the
key under the word CONT to
continue. With most errors, the
display will return to the READY
FOR TEST screen; with certain
errors, you will be told to turn the
power off, then on again.
If the Bayer Reagent Strips
seem to be causing the problem,
carefully read the direction insert
that comes with the Reagent
Strips for information that might
help solve the problem.

If the Display is Blank

If there are no words on the
display after the instrument has
been turned on, check for each
of these possible causes:
The printer cover is not
latched: This might occur only
if the serial number of your
instrument begins with "6510A."
If the cover is unlatched, the
instrument turns itself off; it
turns on again when the cover
is snapped shut. If a test was
being read or results being
printed when the cover was
raised, the results will be lost
and the specimen must be
retested.
The power cord is not
plugged in: Check the
connections at the instrument,
transformer, and wall outlet.
The batteries in the battery
pack are dead: Place fresh
batteries into the pack.
The instrument is broken:
