Good luck. I had to send mine in after using it for an hour. Then again after it sat for 4 months something else went in under an hour.
Both times circuit board problems, both times they said they won't fix it if it was something I could be doing wrong. They fixed it for free both times. I had it 6 months and practically gave it away on ebay. Garbage.
Seriously I wouldn't take it out of the package I'd send the piece of **** back and get something else.
The LM-1 is an AFR gauge, recording and logging tool.
At least thats what it's supposed to be.
Seriously you come here for advice, there are much better widebands out there than Innovates ****.

Innovate products work fine, if installed correctly you will love it and it will last a very long time

I have had my lm-1 for about 1 1/2 years & have had no problems whatsoever. The one sensor I have had fail was through moisture & was in no way the fault of the unit.

I've had mine installed for two years now and the only problem I had was when i unplugged the sensor, I forgot to plug it back in, then ran it over pulling out the wires. I suspect it was user error, but I could mistaken.

I've been through a number of sensors in the few years I've had my LM-1. I don't always turn on the power to the handheld when driving, and the sensor is permanently mounted.

The AC jack on the unit also came loose from the circuit board and I had to re-solder it on two separate occasions.
