- after long periods of storage under unfavourable conditions
- after being subjected to rough transport
- the device is exposed to moisture.
c
In order to prevent danger
- do not touch the bare measuring probe tips of the measuring leads,
- plug the leads into the correspondingly marked jacks at the measuring
instrument
