Has anyone had theirs upon first use generate a message that looks like 0UT2? I replaced battery and tried to calibrate, but nothing seems to work.

I absolutely despise this machine. I should have returned it. To truly answer, it has never been clear nor easy. I tried to use it and understand it, but I gave up. It collects dust. Did I help?

Yes, same problem - changed battery, same result....error msg, then shuts off.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Check to make sure the battery contacts aren't bent. Double check to make sure the new battery is actually good and that it doesn't have one of those clear insulating stickers on it. Maybe try a different new battery if you don't have a tester. We keep a spare pendent, just in case. They're quite inexpensive.

I don't think you can calibrate it but you can reset the unit by taking out the batteries, waiting a few minutes and placing them back in. This will reset the unit to its original factory settings. This will delete all previous data and settings.

It was not very Accurate. Also... my third purchase was a bad unit. Neither the seller nor the maker would respond... not even to the BBB. Be careful. The working two have lost most battery life after a year. Good luck.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

I just received mine and it is hard to read straight on I have to look down on it from the top. I tried diff battery's no luck did you have to send yours back?

Maybe you have a defective one. I am on my second and calibrate using a pH 7 neutral solution. Using the screwdriver provided and the little screw on the back I have no problem moving it up or down. This is my second one and both worked flawlessly.

I've been pretty happy with mine. Quick readout but I couldn't figure out what type or how to replace the battery. Mine still is working. I bought it last November.

No, I've never had that type of message. Up till this time (more than a year) all the two batteries plus chargers are still working good. thanks.

Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this. We had our first one, and the display stopped working very early on, so I thought maybe the battery was bad. When I went to try to change it, there was a mini spark or something shorted. I called the company and sent it in after which they did replace it at no charge. However, we never found it precise in terms of being able to determine sound levels. We used it for voice, and it just went all over the place with no ability to control it in any way. Sorry to sound so negative, but that's what happened to us. I think it would probably measure levels but not with any great precision. Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this.

I would send it back if you can. I purchased same item and one battery will not charge and the other battery was dead out of the box and Amazon doesn't pay any attention to these messages or I would have heard from them from a previous message.

I've used and liked this product since i purchased it about two years ago. The first time I had to replace batteries, all went well, though I had to reset the unit to get it to work. The second battery change hasn't gone so well. I can't get it to turn on, in spite of using the reset procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions of this situation?

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

So far, I cannot get it calibrated. They are sending a new replacement meter.

I have this same thermometer, and I think my battery is dead, i was able to open the compartment and take it out, it says it's a GP392 battery which costs about $4. might just buy another thermometer just in case it wasn't the battery that died.
