SAFETY SUMMARY (Continued)
WARNING: Electrical Shocks from Improper Grounding
■ When wiring the personal computer, power supply for the thermostatic cell
holder and the like, please make sure to use the 3-prong wire (with ground)
provided.
WARNING：Electrical Shock from Contact
■ High voltage is used inside of the equipment, be sure to turn off the unit
before connecting the power cord.
CAUTION: Burns from high Temperature
■ The lamp will become very hot during operation.
■ Make sure that the instrument is switch off, the power cord is pulled off and
the D2 lamp and the tungsten lamp is cooled off when replacing the lamp.
CAUTION: Fatigue due to Prolonged Work
■ Viewing the display in your work can cause eye and physical fatigue if you
continue to work in the same posture for extended periods.
■ When working with the display for a prolonged period, for your health,
make sure to take breaks for 10 to 15 minutes every hour in order to rest
your eyes and body.
CAUTION：Indoor ventilation

SAFETY SUMMARY (Continued)
Electricity
(a) The voltage for the Spectrophotometer system and personal computer
must be a single-phase AC 100V to 240V; Variations in the voltage and
noise generated in the power line will cause adverse effects on the
spectrophotometer and may also cause accidents.
(b) Please make sure that grounding is provided together with the power
supply wires, and make sure that it is connected with a grounding
resistance of less than 4. Defective grounding may not only cause
lower resistance against noise from the outside but it can also cause the
Mass Spectrometer and personal computer to generate static electricity,
which may involve the danger of electrical shocks.
(c) A high voltage circuit is used inside the Spectrophotometer. Do not open
the covers when this circuit is operational because of the danger from
electrical shock.
Fire Extinguishers
(a) Do not smoke or use fire within 3 meters of the Spectrophotometer
(b) Make sure to keep a fire extinguisher near the Spectrophotometer at all
times. Obtain an ABC Powder extinguisher that can be used for normal fires,
oil fires, and electrical fires.
