Why is PM8000 or ION7400 meter's front display is flashing? What steps does user needs to take in order to stop the flashing?

Product Line
PM8000 or ION7400 series meters

Environment
Front display of PM8000/ION7400

Cause
The meter's display shows an alarm icon and the alarm LED flashes if your meter detects an active alarm condition. Depending on the priority of the alarm, your meter's display also flashes.

Resolution
Your meter's display back light dims after a defined period of inactivity. When the meter detects an unacknowledged active high priority alarm, the display flashes until the alarm is acknowledged.
