5.1 Getting started with the easyTymp
5.1.1 Use of Equipment After Transport and Storage
Make sure the device is functioning correctly before use. If the device has been stored in
a colder environment (even for short time) allow the device to become acclimatized. This
can take a long time depending on the conditions (like environmental humidity). You can
reduce the condensation by storing the device in its original packaging. If the device is
stored under warmer conditions than the use conditions no special precaution are
required before use. Always ensure proper operation of the device by following routine
check procedures for audiometric equipment.
