Q: My A163 displays “bAtt” – what does that mean?

A: This is a low battery warning. Change the internal coin cell within one week, or your calibration constants will be lost. See page 18 of the manual.

Cause: The internal battery (usually a BR2325 or soldered NiCad) has died, corrupting the boot loader, OR the main fuse on the power supply board is blown.
Fix: Open the back. Replace the fuse (250V, 500mA slow-blow). If the battery has leaked acid onto the PCB, the unit is likely a paperweight.
