minutes within the specifiedoperating temperature range.
HYoumust perform the Signal Path Compensation procedure after the
20-minute warm-upperiod and the ambient temperature must not change
more than 5 °C(9°F) without first repeating theprocedure. See Run the
signal-path compensation routineon page 2--6 forinstructions on how to
performthis procedure.
