sockets. This can damage the pins in the amplifier or the probe head itself.
When storing the probe, it is best to coil the cable in a large radius and avoid a net twist in the
CAUTION
cable during the process. This can be done in a similar manner to how garden hoses or
extension cords are typically coiled.
