USB Program Manager or FlashPDF Program Manager.
How do I replace my battery?
Remove the small screw from the back of the logger, tap the logger on a table until the battery falls out, insert the new battery and replace the cover.
Why is my data logger not showing anything on the display?

Why can’t I program or download any of my data loggers?

What does it mean when there is a small moon symbol on the LCD?
The logger is in Manual Start Waiting mode. Press the Start button to begin logging data.
Why does my data logger show temperatures immediately after programming?

Why is my 20902 or 20903 not reading up above 185°F (85°C) when I am doing cool-down for my Brisket or Beef Roast?
The 20092 or 20903 do not read temperatures above 185°F (85°C) – unlike the older FlashLink data loggers with external probes.
Can I calibrate my 20902 or 20903 at 212°F using boiling water.
No. The 20092 or 20903 do not read temperatures above 185°F (85°C) – unlike the older FlashLink data loggers with external probes.
Why after installing the software do I get a driver installation error when installing the USB Program Manager on a Windows 7 64 bit System?
The error is related to a driver for the Parallel Port. For the USB logger it will not be a problem. You should be able to just ignore the error and install the software.
