on page 27.
6 Secure the multimeter against unauthorized calibration;
see
"Exiting the adjustment mode"
that the multimeter has quit the adjustment mode and is
turned off.
7 Record the new security code and calibration count in the
multimeter's maintenance records.
For optimum performance, all procedures should comply
with the following recommendations:
• The performance verification test or adjustment should be
performed under laboratory condition which ambient
temperature can be controlled.
• Ensure that the calibration ambient temperature is stable
and is between 18 °C and 28 °C. Ideally the calibration
should be performed at 23 °C ± 1 °C.
• Ensure that the ambient relative humidity is less than
80%.
• The instrument should be put under the laboratory
environment for at least 1 hour.
• Allow a warm- up period of 3 minutes.
