Question posted by rich50739 on January 14th, 2013

Problem After Battery Replacement

The batteries had run low. After replacing with 8 new alkaline batteries, when the unit is turned on, the screen just shows black, with a row of dots above and below. Kind of looks like a piece of 16mm film. No buttons work except print which prints some jibberish.
