We recommend you send your FC20 in for a Factory Diagnostic Check every 2 years.
What should I do before sending in my FC20 for service?
Prior to returning an instrument for service you should document all user settings and print or download all test results as this information is typically lost during the service process.

This is typically caused by a battery failure. Replacement of all 4 batteries should fix the problem.
