on the element will shorten its life. Always use clean finger cots, gloves, or clean laboratory
tissue when handling a source element.

a. Make sure the three captive screws are straight and then slowly insert the source into
the cavity until the source mount is flush with the instrument.

4. Reconnect and power on the spectrometer.
