Switching on the Instrument
NOTE: If the instrument has just been unpacked or has been stored in a cold environment, it
should be allowed to come to thermal equilibrium for 2–3 hours in the laboratory
before being switched on. This will prevent calibration failure as a result of internal
condensation.
CAUTION
Do not turn power to the instrument on and off quickly as this may
damage the power supply.
Wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the instrument.
Switch on the instrument via the ON/OFF on the keypad, as shown in Figure 2.
The instrument will perform a series of diagnostic checks.
NOTE: If during the calibration the instrument displays an error message it will prompt you
to press OK to restart the calibration procedure. However, after three attempts
you will still be able to view the default home page. You should NOT use the
instrument under these circumstances. Instead, make a note of the error message
and refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the PerkinElmer website to address the
problem.
After switch on and calibration, the default home page is displayed.
To open a method or folder, press the appropriate number on the keypad.

NOTE: If you have an SD Memory Card installed in your instrument that contains methods,
the SD Memory Card folder will be added to the home page. You can view and open
the first 9 methods saved to this folder. Further methods can be saved to the SD
Memory Card folder; see
SD Memory Card
on page 29 for information on how to view
these methods on your PC. If the SD Memory Card is empty it will not be displayed
on the home page.
