Quick Tips
Before executing self calibration, ensure that the ambient temperature is

period before executing self calibration.
Disconnect all the cables from the instrument when you perform self test or
self calibration.
Perform self calibration at least once a year to maintain DC accuracy. It is
recommended that the self calibration should be performed along with a
periodic check.
