"START."
When a solution outside the measurement
range was used:
Clean the prism. Measure a sample within the
range.
OUT OF SCALE The sample measured was

measure a sample within the upper and
lower limits.
OUT OF WATER Zero-setting was performed with
nothing or a solution other than

Zero-setting was performed
outside the measurement
temperature range (5-75 ā).
When no solution was used:
Apply purified water on the prism and touch
"ZERO."
When a solution other than purified water
was used:
Clean the prism. Apply purified water on the
prism and touch "ZERO."
When the temperature was outside the range

The prism temperature did not
reach the set target
temperature.
When the target temperature is set lower
than 10ā below or higher than 55ā above
the ambient temperature:
Turn the power off and wait for at least 1
minute to turn it back on. Immediately, re-set
the target temperature.
