10. Powering off
11. Automatic Temperature Compensation
-15-
The instrument will turn itself off after approximately 30 seconds of
inactivity. To manually turn it off, hold down the START/OFF button
for more than 2 seconds.
The backlight stays on for 15 seconds after any button is pressed.
The readings are corrected, based on the temperature of the prism, within the automatic
temperature compensation range.
【Caution】
Measurements may fluctuate with hot or cold samples. Depending on the difference in
temperature, allow the sample to sit for 20 to 60 seconds (to acclimate to the instrument's
temperature). Measurements will stabilize once the instrument acclimates to the sample
temperature.
12. Storage and maintenance
●After use, wipe off a sample adhering to the prism surface and adjacent area with tissue paper
wetted with water. Additionally, wipe the prism surface and surrounding area with tissue paper
moistened with rubbing alcohol.
●When storing this instrument, avoid a damp place or a place which is exposed to the direct
sunrays. Dampness will cause blurs on the optical system or it will gather mold, and direct
sunrays will deform the casing, disabling the instrument from performing measurement.
●Because the casing is made of plastic, it is strictly prohibited to use organic solvents (paint
thinner, benzine, gasoline or the like).
