Is there a way to clear it?
The buttons on the meter are:

Answerer Shiv d, thanks for NOTHING. don't give input that is CLEARLY advertising!!

I am not sure how to clear it but when I wanted to clear my Precision machine I had to call customer service at the company. Their number should be listed in the book. Hope this helps.
