from the source of interference (an electrical or magnetic item).
Possible cause: Component failure. Possible solution: Contact your doctor or
clinic to replace the Patient Assistant.

Possible cause: The light in the display area went on and off before you looked
at it. Possible solution: Look at the indicator display area sooner.
