Safety Warnings and Cautions To ensure correct use of this instrument, read the following points carefully and adhere to them. After you have read this manual, keep it in a safe place where it can be referred to anytime a question arises. Warning (Failure to adhere to the following points may result in death or serious injury.) Do not use this instrument in places where flammable or combustible gases (gasoline etc.) are present. Doing so may cause fire. Always use the AC adapter and power cord supplied as a standard accessory or optional (AC-A312), and connect it to indoor AC outlet of rated voltage 100-240 V 50/60 Hz. Failure to follow either of these may result in damage to instrument or AC adapter, fire or electric shock. Insert the power plug fully and securely. If the power plug is not pushed complete inserting may cause fire or electric shock. If this instrument is not used for a long time, disconnect AC adapter from AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on prongs of AC adapter plug may cause fire. Be sure to remove before use. -

Introduction Thank you for purchasing our 2D Color Analyzer CA-2500 series. This instrument measures unevenness of luminance and color on various display unit or projector, backlight and car instrument panel in 2 dimension. Read this manual carefully before use. "CA-2500" and CA-2500S are applied as representative examples for explanation and illustration respectively in this instruction manual. Only those with different specification are indicated model by model. Packaging material Retain accompanying packaging materials (carton, protector, and plastic bag) for future use. This is delicate measurement instrument. Use packaging materials supplied in purchasing in case this instrument needs to be transferred for such purpose as maintenance in Konica Minolta-authorized service facility. These packaging materials are useful for minimizing shock or vibration to this instrument in such situation.Should any of these packaging materials be lost or broken, contact the nearest Konica Minolta-authorized service facility. -

Page 20: Connecting Ac Adapter
Connecting AC Adapter Use accessory AC adapter for power source. Warning (Failure to adhere to the following points may result in death or serious injury.) Always use the AC adapter and power cord supplied as a standard accessory or optional (AC-A312), and connect it to indoor AC outlet of rated voltage 100-240 V 50/60 Hz. Failure to follow either of these may result in damage to unit, fire or electric shock. If this instrument is not used for a long time, disconnect AC adapter from AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on prongs of AC adapter plug may cause fire and should be removed. Be sure to remove before use. Do not forcibly pull any part on power cord when unplugging since this may cause fire or electric shock. Gently disconnect by holding plug. Also, do not handle power plug with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock. -
