Operational Notes

1. When pressing in rapid succession, the unit will not beep each time the display is incremented. The display will increment each time sufficient pressure is applied for the tactile feedback “click” to be felt.

2. The ink is water based and is not permanent. The pen will leave a small mark on nonporous surfaces; however, the mark will be removed when the surface is wiped, or when the ink evaporates from the surface.

3. The counter is reset to zero when the unit is turned off.

2. Grasp the tip of the unit at the four rings, turn counter clockwise and unscrew the tip from the unit.

3. Remove the exhausted pen cartridge and replace it with a fresh new cartridge.

4. Replace the tip of the unit and tighten securely.

5. Place the cap back on to the felt tip pen. (Use the original silver cap, do no use the temporary cap that came with the replacement pen cartridge.)

Replacement Battery

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES If this unit does not function properly for any reason, replace the battery with a new high-quality battery (see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will solve most difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Erratic readings, a faint display, or no display are all indications that the battery must be replaced. Remove the screw located on the pocket clip on the back of the unit. Remove the back of the unit. The battery is held in place sideways at the top of the pen. Remove the exhausted battery and replace it with a new #392 size Silver Oxide battery. Make certain to insert the battery with proper polarity as indicated by the illustration in the battery compartment. Replace the back of the unit. Replace the screw and tighten securely.
