Doing so may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for
at least 2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature
difference of 20˚C or more.
Update settings, replace items, or call for service as necessary based on the results of the
visual inspection. Do not use the unit if you see any signs of damage. Equipment that has been
damaged must be checked for proper operation by qualified personnel before using again.
