Moving the
SpectraMax
GEMINI EM
If you need to relocate the SpectraMax GEMINI EM, follow these steps.
The SpectraMax GEMINI EM weighs approximately
35 pounds (16 kilograms). To avoid injury, it is recommended that two
people lift the instrument together, using proper lifting techniques.
1) Remove any microplate (and the adapter, if any) from the drawer and then
close the drawer.
Leaving the adapter in the drawer when moving the
SpectraMax GEMINI EM could cause damage to the instrument.
2) Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the source
and from the receptacle on the back of the instrument.
3) Depending on the distance that you will be moving the instrument, you
may wish to repackage the SpectraMax GEMINI EM in its original ship-
ping carton. Otherwise, carry the instrument or place it on a rolling cart to
transport it.
4) Ensure that the new location meets the proper speci fi cations as described
in Chapter 2, “Installation.”
