2. Large screen (3.5 inch), high resolution (320*480), full-view display with clear
image.
3. Aesthetic design perfectly combined with ergonomics structure.
4. 15°oblique angle screen, more in line with the human eye observation.
5. Two standard observer angles, multiple light sources modes, a variety of color
systems.
6. High hardware configuration with a number of innovative technologies.
7. Oversized integrating sphere, more effective homogenization ray of lights and
precise measurement.
8. Visible spectrum 400~700nm reflectance curve.
9. Input standard data manually, easy to operate.

Cautions
● The spectrophotometer is a precise measuring instrument. Please avoid dramatic
changes of external environment when measuring. These changes, including the
flicker of surrounding light and the rapid change of temperature, will affect
measurement accuracy.
● Keep the instrument balanceable; make sure the measuring aperture close to the test
sample, and no shaking or shifting when measuring. Please prevent the colorimeter
from fierce collision or crash.
● The instrument is not waterproof. Do not use it in high humidity environment or in
water.
● Keep the instrument clean. Avoid dust, powder or solid particles entering the
measuring aperture and the instrument.
● Replace the white calibration cavity and put the spectrophotometer into instrument
case when not in use.
● Please take out the battery to prevent the instrument from damage if you don‟t use it
for a long time.
● Please keep the instrument in a cool dry place.
● Any unauthorized changes to the instrument are not permitted, or it will affect the
measuring accuracy, even cause irreversible damage.

cause irreversible damage.
3. Please remove the battery if you don‟t use it for a long time.
4. When charging the battery, please connect power adapter or USB cable (to PC).
Meanwhile, push the switch to “1” to turn it on, and then the battery will be
charging. If not charge the battery, you can remove the battery and connect power
adapter, the instrument still works normally.
5. When charging, dynamic battery icon will display on the top right corner of
measurement interface.
3. Battery Installation
1. When installing battery, be sure the power is cut off. (Push the switch to “0”). Then
remove the battery cover.
2. Insert the Li-ion battery into battery compartment and push it gently. Please pay
attention to the battery contacts.
3. Put the battery cover on Li-ion battery, and then push it up as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 5 White and Black Calibration
Click “White Calibration”, it will prompt you to put away the white board. Put
the measuring aperture on white board. Make sure the measuring aperture is close
to the white board. Click “OK” or press “Testing” key to perform white
calibration. Please pay attention that the serial number of white board must
correspond to the instrument.
Click “Black Calibration”, it will prompt you to put away black cavity. Put the
measuring aperture into black calibration cavity. Click “OK” or press “Testing”
key to perform black calibration.
Then, white calibration and black calibration are completed.
4.3 Measurement
4.3.1 Measurement Locating
The instrument can visually locate through the cross of measuring aperture. It can

be done by observing the alignment between the cross and the sample, while
moving the measuring aperture to adjust the position.
4.3.2 Standard Measurement
Please enter “Standard Measurement” interface to perform measurements as
shown in Figure 6.
Put the measuring aperture on the standard sample, press “Testing” key. The
colorimeter will display color data of the standard sample.
Figure 6 Standard Measurement
Click “No Name”, it will enter “Edit Name”interface as shown in Figure 16. You
can edit the name of the current standard.
Click “D65”, it will enter “Light Source”interface as shown in Figure 19. You
can set the light source of the current standard.
Click “10°”, you can switch the observer angle between 2°and 10°.
Click “LAB”, it will enter “Color Space”interface as shown in Figure 22. You
can change the color space of the current standard.
