Notes on Storage

• The CM-5 should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and at a relative humidity of 80% or less
(35°C) without condensation.Do not store the instrument in areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity,
sudden changes in temperature, or where freezing or condensation may occur, because these circumstances
may cause a breakdown.It is recommended to store the CM-5 with a drying agent at a temperature around
20°C.
• Do not leave the CM-5 inside a car such as in the cabinet or trunk. Otherwise, the temperature and/or
humidity may exceed the allowable range for storage during midsummer or midwinter, resulting in a
breakdown.
• Keep the packing materials used for shipment and use them to transport the CM-5. This protects the
instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock.
• Do not store the CM-5 in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present.Doing so may cause
deterioration in performance or a breakdown.
• Entry of dust into the specimen measuring port will hinder accurate measurement.When the instrument is not
in use, you must close the transmittance specimen chamber and cover the instrument with the supplied Dust
Cover to prevent the entry of dust into the integrating sphere.
• The White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore,
make sure to close the cap when it is not in use so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient
light during storage.
• The Target Masks may discolor if they are left exposed to light. When they are not in use, keep them in a safe
place to prevent exposure to light and to protect them from scratches and dust.
• Be sure to keep all packing materials (cardboard box, cushioning material, plastic bags, etc.). They can be
used to protect the instrument during transportation to the service facility for maintenance (re-calibration
etc.).

Notes on Cleaning

• If the CM-5 becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth.Never use solvents such as thinner or benzene.
• If the White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth.If dirt is
difficult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commercially-available lens cleaning solution.
Then remove the solution with a cloth dampened with water, and leave the plate to dry.
• If the inner surface of the Target Masks, the inside of the integrating sphere , or the built-in White Calibration
Plate get dirty, contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
• Should the CM-5 break down, do not try to disassemble and repair it by yourself. Contact a KONICA
MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

Disposal Method

• Make sure that the CM-5, its accessories, and the packing materials are either disposed of or recycled
correctly in accordance with local laws and regulations.
