If you need to ship the instrument to BioTek for service or repair,
contact BioTek for a service authorization number, and be sure to
use the original packing materials. Other forms of commercially
available packaging are not recommended and can void the

Warnings
Operate the instrument on a level, stable surface away from excessive humidity.
Bright sunlight or strong incandescent light can reduce the linear performance range
of the instrument.
Measurement values may be affected by extraneous particles (such as dust) in the
microplate wells. A clean work area is necessary to ensure accurate readings.
When operated in a safe environment according to the instructions in this document,
there are no known hazards associated with the instrument. However, the operator
should be aware of certain situations that could result in serious injury; these may
vary depending on the instrument model. See
Hazards and Precautions.
Hazards
The following hazard warnings are provided to help avoid injury:
Warning! Internal Voltage. Always turn off the power switch and unplug
the power supply before cleaning the outer surface of the instrument or
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument’s power supply or power cord
must be connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and current
within the specified rating for the system. Use of an incompatible power
receptacle may produce electrical shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a plug adapter to connect
primary power to the external power supply. Use of an adapter disconnects
the utility ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the power
cord directly to an appropriate receptacle with a functional ground.
