3.Test Result - Displays the test result to the number of decimal places specified in the calibration.

4.Target Concentration - Optionally configured as part of the alarm, it must be less than the Upper Control Limit and greater than the Lower Control Limit.

5.Calibration Name - By default, the device will re-open to the calibration in use when it was powered down last.

6.Power Indicator - Indicates whether the device is running on utility AC power using the adapter/charger, or on internal battery power:

7.User Name: Indicates who is logged in. Three users are configured by default: You can perform all tasks described in this guide with just these default users without ever adding any new users. If you want to add more, see GettingStartedonpage3for details.
