Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Batteries are incorrectly installed or depleted. | Check battery polarity and replace with fresh AA batteries. |
| Inaccurate test results or device shuts down unexpectedly. | Low battery voltage. | Replace batteries immediately. Low voltage affects reliability. |
| IC/Transistor not recognized. | Incorrect insertion or component not supported. | Ensure component is correctly seated in the ZIF socket. Verify if the component is within the supported library (1300+ ICs, 420+ transistors). |
