instrument can cause poor operation or malfunction-
The HP 16500A/16501A will operate to all specifications, within the
following temperature and humidity range:
Hardware:
Temperature: 0 to 55 degrees C (32 to 131 degrees F)
Humidity: Up to 95% relative humidity at 40 degrees C (104 degrees
F) (non-condensing)
Disk Drive and Media:
Temperature: 10 to 40 degrees C (50 to 104 degrees F)
Humidity: 8% to 80% relative humidity
Avoid high temperature/humidity combinations and protect the
instrument against internal condensation-
