c. Change the USB cable or change the USB port in you PC.

11. How to solve the problem when the colorimeter cannot be turned on in the condition of battery-powered?

a. If this phenomenon occurred, it means the battery power is not enough. You need to charge the battery.

b. When charge the battery, please insert the battery to the instrument, and plug in the adapter to charge the battery. After 5 minutes, the instrument can be turned on.  

c. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can pull out the adapter and re-plug in to check it. Or repeat this operation.

d. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can turn off the colorimeter and turn on it again to check it. Or repeat this operation.

e. If you have tried all the methods above but the colorimeter still cannot be turned on, please change the battery.
