• “Starting the Spectrophotometer” on page 31 describes the turn- on
procedure for the spectrophotometer and the warm up time required to
fulfill all specifications.
• “Starting the Agilent ChemStation Software” on page 34 describes how
you start Windows from the MS- DOS operating system and how you
start your Agilent ChemStation software.
• “Operational Checkout” on page 34—use this section to ensure that your
spectrophotometer, computer and the UV-Visible operating software is

self- test can only be executed after the instrument has warmed up for
at least one hour.
