Safety precautions
The instrument begins to emit UV radiation as soon as a deployment starts,
whether it is by twist activation or when the start time is set to "Now".
Ultraviolet radiation is invisible so it may not be obvious when the instrument is
active. However, Ruskin will display a warning and the red dots on the UV power
icon will turn green.
Note: RBR ships | uv instruments with the UV schedule disabled, so it is safe to
unpack them. However, going forwards, RBR recommends following protective
measures at all times.
1. Use protective eyewear when handling CT | uv and CTD | uv instruments.
RBR recommends UV-blocking safety glasses of the highest available rating.
2. Never look at the LEDs as their optical power (ultraviolet and visible) can be
hazardous to eyes.
3. Whenever handling an active instrument, hold it with the guard facing down to
avoid shining the light into the eyes.

rate, with twist activation enabled, and the battery end-cap set to PAUSE.
