Starting the Spectrophotometer
Before you turn on your spectrophotometer, make sure the light path
through the sample compartment is clear. All filters should be removed
from the light path. Anything blocking or absorbing part of the light beam
could cause an error indication when you turn on the spectrophotometer.
The power switch is located at the left front of the spectrophotometer.
When starting UV- Visible application software wait until the completion of
the self- test procedures for the spectrophotometer. Otherwise the
application software may not recognize the spectrophotometer.
