Check the following regularly.
•CheckthattheservicelifeoftheAUD15 has not expired. If it 
has, replace the AUD15 with a new one.
•Checktheambienttemperature.ethermolabelcanbeused
to obtain a rough estimate of the ambient temperature. If the 
temperature exceeds the specications, cool down the device.
•CheckthatthenutpackingandO-ringarenotdamaged.If
any damage is found, replace the damaged item.
•Checkthat thereisnocorrosion ordamageof the adapter
unit, socket unit, or lead wires. If a corroded or damaged
