If capturing is finished for the day, switch off the instrument by pressing the
On/Off button on the front panel. Wait until the instrument is shut down (LED
lights are turned off). Then press the Power switch on the right side of the
instrument to the O position.
Note:
To optimize the instrument's life time and to minimize unnecessary power
consumption, shut down the instrument when image captures and analyses
have been completed for the day. If the Amersham Imager 680 instrument is
used around the clock, make sure to restart the system at least once a day
to remove temporary files that may take up unnecessary memory space.
