At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was veriied to be within its warranted speciications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully calibrated with no further adjustment or veriication
testing.
2. If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its irst year, or if the analyzer is more than one year old, additional adjustment and
performance veriication tests are required to ensure that some newly installed options are functioning properly. However, the completion of these tests
does not guarantee that the analyzer meets all warranted speciications.

over time
1. At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was
veriied to be within its warranted speciications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully
calibrated with no further adjustment or veriication testing.
2. If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its irst year, or if the analyzer is more than one year old,
additional adjustment and performance veriication tests are required to ensure that some newly installed options are functioning
properly. However, the completion of these tests does not guarantee that the analyzer meets all warranted speciications.
