Page 16: Preparing The Mvi For Use
MVI MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Preparing the MVI for use It is recommended that you zero your instrument in a known ‘clean environment’ using fresh air. Turn the instrument ON and ensure the LO BAT indication does not appear. • If LO BAT does appear then charge the unit for 16 hours before proceeding to next step (refer to Battery Charging Section of this manual for further information). - Page 17 MVI MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Due to the nature of the carbon filter case and the materials used, it can give odours which will show as a small negative reading on the MVI when removed. Preparing the MVI for use The MVI is now ready for use.
