Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hmmm. Perhaps the battery is weak. Any chance you can swing it to get a Prodigy Voice? Insurance should cover it. My insurance told me initially that I would be responsible for 20%, but it was because they didn't have the Prodigy Voice on their list. It's an obscure meter in the otherwise huge ocean of big name companies. They will probably add it, and approve it, as soon as you enlighten them.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Dean, Do you have someone with sight around to look at the meter? If you do and the meter says EE (two letter e) or EO then it means there is a problem with the meter and you will need to turn it in for a new one under warranty. If there is another picture on the display screen, then look up the meaning of the picture at the back of your manual. If you need an Autocode manual on the computer so you can look it up yourself, then e mail me at ruthh@... (there are two hs) and I will send it to you. I myself don't think it's the batteries because it is still playing the turn off music and starting, but it wouldn't hurt to try new batteries. Otherwise, I strongly suggest you call technical support at 1-. I also think Dave's Idea is a good one to consider a Voice as it speaks to you more and can tell you the error messages.
