Notes on Storage
• Storing the instrument in direct sunlight or near heating equipment can cause the internal temperature of the instrument to
become much higher than the ambient temperature, resulting in malfunction. Do not store the instrument in such areas.
• This instrument should be stored at a temperature between 0°C and 45°C with a relative humidity of 80% or less (at 35°C) and
no condensation. Storing the instrument in an environment with high temperatures and high humidity will result in
unsatisfactory performance. Storing the instrument together with the drying agent at or near room temperature is
recommended.
• Make sure that the instrument is not subjected to condensation when stored. In addition, take care to prevent rapid
temperature changes to prevent condensation from occurring when transporting the instrument to the storage location.
• Do not store the instrument in areas where dust, smoke, or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration in
performance or a malfunction.
• Do not leave the instrument inside the cab or trunk of a vehicle. Otherwise, the temperature and/or humidity may exceed the
allowable range for storage, resulting in a malfunction.
• Dust inside the specimen measuring port may prevent accurate measurements from being performed. When the instrument is
not in use, cover the measuring port to prevent the intrusion of dust and the like.
• The calibration plate may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore, make sure to close the cap when the plate is not
in use in order to prevent the plate from being exposed to light.
• When not in use, store the instrument in the packing used for shipment or in the optional hard case and keep it in a safe place.
• Take care not to pinch yourself on the areas of the protective hard case that open and close. Doing so may cause injury.

Notes on Cleaning
• If the instrument becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use organic solvents (such as naphtha or thinner) or other
chemicals for cleaning.
• If there is dust or dirt on the lens or the receptor window, use a blower or the like to blow it off. Never use organic solvents (such
as naphtha or thinner) or other chemicals for cleaning.
• If the calibration plate becomes dirty, gently wipe the dirt off using the supplied cleaning cloth. If the dirt is excessive, wipe with
a cleaning cloth slightly moistened with ethanol. If the cleaning cloth is dirty, clean the cloth by washing it.
• If you are unable to remove dirt from the instrument through the above procedure, or if the instrument becomes scratched,
contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility .
