Products affected: DM100®i, DM125™

Issue

The display screen is blank, blue or grey.

Cause

The meter is not receiving power, the contrast is too low or too high.

Resolution

Check the power LED light:
  • If the LED is amber, the meter is in sleep mode:
    1. Press any button to wake the meter.
  • If the LED is off, the meter is either turned off or does not have power:
    1. If there is a power switch on the back of the machine, check that it is set to the on position ( | ).
    2. Check that the power cable is plugged into the back of the meter and into a functioning electrical outlet.
  • If the LED is green, the contrast needs to be reset:
    1. Unplug the meter.
    2. Hold down the number 4 button while plugging the meter back in. This will reset the contrast to the default setting.
