Replacing the Laser and Power Supply
WARNING
Switch off the main power supply to the spectrometer, wait
60 seconds
and disconnect the power cable before you open the cover of
the spectrometer. This makes sure that you are safe from electrical shock
and laser radiation.

retains an electrical charge even when the main power is switched off.
