Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

I started the calibration of my HygroSet Digital Hygrometer this morning, and the screen shuts down after a while. I have to press the "set" button for it to come back to life. I bought it new and took off the plastic tab from the battery compartment this morning, so it couldn't be the battery. Or could it? Or is it a normal function of the hygro?

Thanks.

In my experience,no.The screen should not go blank.

It sounds like a defective unit. I would go back to where you bought it and exchange it for a new one.

The problem seems to have resolved itself. The screen hasn't shut down since yesterday, so maybe it was just some jitters.

I would still recommend exchanging it - there may still be a problem and it's best to take care of it while you can.
