| NEC SPECTRAVIEW II - USER'S GUIDE

Precautions:

• The LCD display monitor screen is fragile and can be easily damaged if force is applied. Never
use suction cups to attach a color sensor to the display. Always use the supplied cable or sling and
counterweight to gently rest the color sensor on the face of the display.
• During the display calibration procedure, highly sensitive light measurements are made on the
screen using the color sensor. High ambient light levels such as direct sunlight on the screen, may
affect measurements and cause an inaccurate display calibration. Changes in ambient lighting can alter
how images on the screen are perceived. Locate the display away from bright direct lighting whenever
possible and keep a constant ambient lighting level.
• Always store the color sensor in the holder when not in use.
• Never touch the measurement window in the color sensor.
• Never disconnect the color sensor while the SpectraView software is running.
• Always allow the display to warm up for at least 30 minutes before calibrating.
• Do not adjust the monitor color, brightness or contrast controls once it has been calibrated, otherwise
the color calibration of the monitor may become invalid.
(macOS only) Do not use the ColorSync control panel to switch between different display monitor
•
calibrations by selecting different monitor color profiles. Always use the SpectraView application to load
a previous monitor calibration. This is because all of the necessary color adjustments, including the
Look Up Tables, are stored in the display monitor and these must be set by SpectraView. The ColorSync
profiles generated by SpectraView contain linear Look Up Tables for the video graphics adapter.
