•Have 2 strong people (never 1) lift the black
plastic case straight up & out of the wooden crate
•Do not wheel the case over rough surfaces

•Located in a temperature stable environment of 18-26 oC.
Equipment will not operate properly if the temperature is outside
of this range.
•Temperature variation limits. Either:
1. Temperature variations no greater than +/- 1 oC from nominal,
regardless of rate of change (Controlled temperature environment)
2. Temperature variations no greater than +/- 3 oC from nominal,
having a rate of change not exceeding 0.5 oC per hour. (Uncontrolled
or loosely-controlled temperature environment)
•Should not be situated near doors that are in constant use
(open/close) or air conditioning vents. Cold or warm air blowing on
the instrument will affect its performance.
•Should not be within 2.5 meters of electric motors or large masses
of moving metal.
•If situated on a desk or bench it should not be over the drawer
stack, as moving steel will affect magnetic gradients.

•Leave the spectrometer powered on
–For best performance it is recommended to leave the spectrometer powered
on at all times.
–Leaving the unit on keeps the NMR magnet at an optimal temperature which
is very important for its operation.
–If the unit is turned off overnight the magnet will cool down and possibly take
hours the next day to heat up and shim to the target resolution / line-width.
•Run standby shimming when not in use
–NMReady has a Standby Shimming mode that is used to maintain optimal line
shape through times when the instrument is not active.
–The Standby Shimming button is in the upper left corner of the main screen.
–Suggested times for using Standby Shimming are: overnight, over weekends,
during holidays and through work periods when the NMReady will not be
required for an extended period of time. For example, turn on standby
shimming when leaving for the day.
