1. If the instrument has been stored in unfavorable
conditions, place the instrument in a more favorable
climate before using.
2. When the transmitter is connected to the mains, if
the negative side of the transmitter is connected to
the protective ground phase, the current leakage
(if any) in the power supply line may combine with
the current of the transmitter, which may lead to
tripping the circuit breaker.
3. Keep the original packaging for future shipping
purposes (ex. calibration)
