TEST MODE

Select TEST MODE from the Main Menu. Test Mode allows the user to change
the way that blanking and reading of results is carried out during the %T/ABS
testing. It does not affect any of the Pre-programmed tests. REGULAR is the
default test mode and should be used whenever the blank is clear or has less
absorbance than the samples. This will be the case most of the time. In the rare
instances where the blank will be darker or have more absorbance than the
samples the Test Mode must be switched to REVERSE to avoid error messages
and incorrect readings.

The Test Mode should always be returned to REGULAR at the end of any testing
session.

BATTERY OPERATION

The SMART Spectro can be run using battery power. The battery pack consists
of a rechargeable Ni-metal hydride battery pack. The battery pack is not
included in the standard meter package and must be purchased as an accessory
(Code 2000-BP). The battery charger/adapter used with the optional battery
pack comes standard with each SMART Spectro.
