CAUTION
There are no user-serviceable parts for this equipment.
Sphere Cleaning
The sphere should be examined visually for the presence of dust, sample particles, fibers, and
excessive yellowing due to environmental influences. This inspection should be performed frequently,
especially if you measure loose materials.
If you discover loose materials in the sphere, they should be removed. An optional accessory, the
Minivac Portable Cleaning System (Datacolor Part No. 5400-0036), is a useful tool for cleaning the
sphere.
Tile Handling and Cleaning
Handling Tiles
• Handle calibration tiles with extreme care. Do not drop them, or scratch the glazed surface.
• Always grasp the tile using its edges.
Cleaning Tiles
• The calibration tiles should be cleaned before each use. Wipe each tile clean with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
