Resetting Calibration Parameters
If you must reset the calibration parameters to their factory default values, contact your local
Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer for assistance.

On the front panel, the Vacuum LED illuminates green only when the
pressure in the mass analyzer region, as measured by the ionization gauge, is below the
maximum allowable pressure of 1 × 10

IMPORTANT
• Before resetting the instrument parameters to their default values, make sure that the
system problems you are experiencing are not due to improper API source settings
(such as spray voltage, sheath and auxiliary gas flow, or ion transfer tube temperature).
• If you reset the instrument to the factory calibration settings, always repeat the
calibration of the internal electronic devices as specified in this manual. Otherwise, all
instrument calibrations might produce incorrect results.
