- No data logging on PC: Verify that the USB cable is properly connected and the PC software is running. Ensure the device is synchronized with the software (refer to Section 4.2). Check that recording is active on the device (REC indicator flashing).
- Alarm word nie geaktiveer nie: Check the alarm threshold settings via the PC software or by long-pressing the 'SEL' button. Ensure the threshold is set appropriately for the noise levels being monitored.
- Slow update intervals: The device updates approximately once per second. This is normal operation. For very short, transient sounds, the meter may not register the peak value instantly.
