Such electromagnetic fields can occur in the open
near transmitters (CB radio, radio, television) in the
household near electrical equipment (microwave
ovens, poorly suppressed electrical equipment), and
particularly near mobile phones.

the TEST button.

Pull the strip out of the meter. Carefully open the test
drum compartment and remove the test drum. Reinsert
the test drum. Close the test drum compartment. Keep
the use-by period in mind when reusing the test drum
because the 90-day use-by counter in the meter is no
longer correct.
