I would give Emitor a ring in the morning and ask them if the problem can be addressed by a software update, or any controls. If not, then you need to send the meter back, as you really need that display.

I'll go and get mine and see if there is anything to adjust.

Can't find any adjustment for the LCD screen, not sure there's a reset button either.

Sounds like a faulty screen to me.

Could well have been Sean, let's hope it's cured it.

You won't be disappointed with the meter, they're a cracking unit.

To be honest, battery life on these units are not the best, they draw alot of power, i can use my meter for about 2 hours before the battery is completely drained out and it's a new battery.
