Environmental Phenomena
The unit may malfunction if subjected to radio-frequency
interference. It should revert to normal operation when the
interference stops. If not, it may become necessary to turn the
power Off and back On, or remove and reinstall the batteries.
In the unlikely event of an electrostatic discharge, the unit may
malfunction and lose memory, requiring the user to reset the
device by removing and reinstalling the batteries.
Impact de l’environnement
Une défaillance de fonctionnement de l’appareil peut
survenir s’il est sujet à des interférences avec les fréquences
radioélectriques. Le fonctionnement normal de l’appareil devrait
reprendre avec l’arrêt des interférences. Si ce n’est pas le cas, il
peut s’avérer nécessaire d’éteindre et rallumer l’appareil ou de
retirer et réinstaller les piles. Dans l’éventualité peu probable
d’une décharge électrostatique, un mauvais fonctionnement
et une perte de mémoire de l’appareil peuvent se produire.
L’utilisateur doit alors retirer et réinstaller les piles pour
réinitialiser l’appareil.
