due to contamination or condensation or products which are used in such an environment).

• Do not use the CF-300 at altitudes higher than 2,000 m.

• The CF-300 and the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory have been designed exclusively for indoor use.

They should never be used outdoors because rain or other factors may damage the instrument.

Measurement

• Make sure no dirt or dust get into the specimen measuring port.

• When using the instrument for long periods of time, the measurement value may change depending on changes

in the environment. Therefore, in order to achieve accurate measurements, we recommend that white calibration

be done regularly using the White Calibration Plate.

White Calibration Plate

• The calibration data for the White Calibration Plate was measured at 23°C.

To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring absolute values (colorimetric values), calibration and measure-

ment should be performed at 23°C.

• Do not allow the White Calibration Plate to get scratched or stained with such as ﬁngerprints.

• When the White Calibration Plate is not in use, be sure to close the cover so that the White Calibration Plate is not

exposed to ambient light.

• Do not damage or smudge the White Calibration Plate with ﬁngerprints or otherwise.
