2  Thread the blue cap onto the power connector by rotating it 
clockwise until finger-tight. To avoid damage to the plastic 
connector, be careful not to over-tighten.

system. Connect the opposite end of the power cable to the AC 
power outlet. 
4  Connect the Mini USB communication cable to the USB connector 
on the back right of the instrument.  
Thread the blue cap onto the power connector by rotating it 
clockwise until finger-tight. To avoid damage to the plastic 
connector, be careful not to over-tighten.  
CAUTION 
To prevent any power startup damage or problems, connect the power cord to 
the spectrometer system first and then to the power outlet. 
CAUTION 
To avoid damage to the system due to power surges or a faulty power source, 
always use a UL approved power surge protection strip between the power 
outlet source and the system power cord.
