Maintenance

8.Push in the battery so that the contacts of the instrument can be plugged into the socket of the battery.

Important Note: Take care that the battery contacts are always clean. Soiled contacts can result in contact heating and voltage drop, interfering with the proper operation of the spectrophotometer.

9.Use a screwdriver or a coin to replace the screw securing the cover.

10.Carefully stand the instrument upright.

11.Plug in power supply again – the Instrument is now ready for use. The battery charges up.

7.2.1 Information about using the battery
