Lithium Batteries Information
Hot Surface
The lamps and its surroundings remain hot for up to five minutes after the lamp is
turned off. To avoid burns, allow the lamp compartment to cool before carrying our
any work in this area.
Eye Hazard
Eye damage may result from directly viewing light produced by deuterium lamps.
Always turn off the deuterium lamps before opening the lamp door on the
instrument. Direct viewing of ultraviolet rays without protection causes permanent
blindness or vision impairment.
Do not replace the mains power cord with one that is inadequately rated. When replacing
the mains power cord, use only a mains power cord with a rating equivalent to the one
supplied with the instrument.
Explosion Hazard
The Lithium battery can be found on the Spectrometer Processor Main Board (SPM).
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Do not dispose of
lithium batteries in domestic waste.
