be exposed to: 
 
Direct sunlight or X-rays 
 
Sudden changes in temperature 
 
Dust 
 
Excessive vibration 
 
Heat generators 
2.  Store and transport the probe under the following ambient conditions: 
 
Ambient temperature: -20°C  ~  55°C 
 
Relative humidity: 30%  ~  95% (no condensation) 
 
Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa  ~  1060 hPa 
Store and transport the 4CD4s probe under the following ambient conditions: 
 
Ambient temperature: -10°C  ~  60°C
