3.7.3. Warning Messages

Because internal temperatures and other conditions may be outside be specified limits during the analyzer’s warm-up period, the software will suppress most warning conditions for 30 minutes after power up. If warning messages persist after the 30 minutes warm up period is over, investigate their cause using the troubleshooting guidelines in Section 11 of this manual.
