3.2 Power On and Initial Display
1. Power up SmartSpec. When you turn on SmartSpec 3000, it will go through a self-
diagnostic routine during which it tests the lamp, optical components, diode array, power
supply and other components. If a problem is detected, SmartSpec 3000 will alert you to call
Bio-Rad Technical Support. If boot up is successful and no errors are detected, the Home
screens will be displayed.
