1.2.1 Charging the batteries
The SpectroEye is subject to quality control and the batteries
are charged prior to delivery. If a long period of time passes
between delivery from GretagMacbeth and Set-up, the
instrument must be recharged using the battery charger
supplied.
Procedure
1. Connect the battery charger to the mains supply by means
of the mains cable
2. Insert the charging plug into the SpectroEye port
3. Recharge the instrument for approximately three hours
4. Remove the charging cable and disconnect the battery
charger from the mains when charging is complete
1.2.2 Transportation safety deactivation
The SpectroEye is fitted with an electronic transportation
safety system, which prevents involuntary operation and
thus damage to the measuring head due to impact or vibration
during transport.
Procedure
1. Press the measurement pad area down for about three
seconds to cancel any input which may have been created
by transport and unpacking movements.
2. Briefly press the measurement pad. The display shows
the field for entering code 259 and a window for the number
selection.
3. At this point enter the numbers 2, 5 and 9 in succession,
pressing the measurement pad each time to choose a
number. If a mistake is made during code entry or you wish
to cancel a single entry, bring the cursor bar to
<- and press
the measurement pad. To cancel the entire sequence, keep
the measuring pad pressed for about three seconds.
4. If the figures have been correctly entered, bring the cursor
bar to the OK field and press the measurement pad.
The display will then show a menu.
5. Bring the cursor bar to the item Return on the displayed
menu and press the measurement pad until the main menu

SpectroEye tends to becom warm.

system and is perfectly normal.

the instrument with the transport
protection (read chapter 1.3).
