Symbols used in safety information
In order to prevent product damage, user injury or fatality, please carefully read the symbols and details below.
CAUTION
Important data damage or property loss
is expected if the instructions were violated
WARNING
User fatality or severe injury is expected
if the instructions were violated
CAUTION
Avoid using an alkali solution of pH 9.5 or higher as it may damage the optical components.
Avoid using a metal-corrosive solution.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the product.
Do not apply pressurized shock or falling shock on the product exterior.
As usage after storage at a location below the reference temperature may cause condensation
inside the product, use it after letting it sit in room temperature for a certain period of time.
After product usage, make sure to separate the power cable at all times.
WARNING
Connecting to a power without protective grounding may cause electrocution
or product damage.
In case of emergency, remove the power plug.
As the light of the lamp used in the product may damage the user’s vision,
always turn off the lamp power before opening the lamp cover.
Directly looking into the UV without any protective gear may cause vision impairment
or permanent vision loss.
Using the product at a temperature of 50℃or higher may cause the back
of the product to heat up.
For about 10 minutes after the lamp is turned off, there may be a risk of burn if the lamp
or the nearby area is touched.
The arbitrary replacement of batter used on the mainboard may cause explosion,
so it must be replaced only with equivalent products or products of identical performance
as recommended by the manufacturer.

Installation
Check the surroundings
of the place to install
Alphalook and remove
obstacles.
01
Press the power switch
of Alphalook to apply
power.
04
Insert the power cable,
one of the included
components, into the
power socket and
connect the power plug.
02
Start the PC and install
Alphalook application.
(refer to the user manual)
05
Connect the USB cable, one
of the included components,
to the USB port of Alphalook
and PC.
03
Use Alphalook application
or quick measure button on
the side of Alphalook to take
measurements.
06
It requires about 1 hour of pre-heating.
After applying power, it needs to be pre-heated for about 1 hour before the first
measurement.In case there isn’t sufficient pre-heating time, the measurement value
may be inaccurate or measurement error may occur.
