Warnings
and Cautions
It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument, as
well as any accessories, before requesting service by Molecular Devices
representatives and before returning the instrument or any components
to Molecular Devices Corporation.
All maintenance procedures described in this manual can be
safely performed by qualified personnel. Maintenance not covered in this
manual should be performed by a Molecular Devices representative.
Removal of protective covers that are marked with the High
Voltage warning symbol shown below can result in a safety hazard.
Always turn the instrument power switch off and remove the
power cord and any computer/printer cables from the back of the instru-
ment prior to any maintenance or installation operation.
Never perform any operation on the instrument in an environ-
ment where liquids or potentially damaging gases are present.
Risk of electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Use of organic solvents (such as dichloromethane) may cause
harm to the optics in the SPECTRAmax 340PC. Extreme caution is
advised when using organic solvents. Always use a plate lid and avoid
placing a plate containing these materials in the reading chamber for pro-
longed periods of time. Damage caused by the use of incompatible or
aggressive solvents is NOT covered by the instrument warranty.
Never touch any of the optic mirrors, filters, or cables or their
housing, or manifold. The optics are extremely delicate and critical to the
instrument.
Do not touch or loosen any screws or parts other than those spe-
cifically designated in the instructions. Doing so could cause misalign-
ment and possibly void warranty.
