15°C and 35°C.
2. The relative humidity must be less than
85% (non­condensing).
3. Do not place the instrument in direct sun­
light.
4. Use of a dedicated power outlet is recom­
mended.
5. Do not place near X­ray machinery.
6. Store magnetic cards away from strong
magnetic fields.

solvents or corrosive substances when cleaning
the instrument. Accidental spillage of biological
material should be wiped with a lint­free cloth
dampened with 70% ethyl alcohol.
For any repair requirement, contact your local
supplier.
