Equipment reliability is typically measured by Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) or failure probability vs. time, where time measures operation hours. When electronic equipment is not used, a user may switch the power off, expecting that next time the device is turned on, it will operate as before. Thus, the failure rate during non-operation is often assumed to be zero. However, in some cases, when a product is not used for a long period of time, it malfunctions when turned back on.
