It's the good-taste fairies little way of telling you that you should leave the dials standard.

do as carl said, and try and take the needle of a touch, they're also spring loaded, and if you plonk it straight on, it wont read right. you need to put it on slightly lower than the resting pin (but oly a little bit) then "bend" the needle over the pin so it sits on it when not in use.
