3.5.3.WARNING MESSAGES

Because internal temperatures and other conditions may be outside the 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 60 minutes warm-up period is over, investigate their cause using the troubleshooting guidelines in Section Error! Reference source not found..
