1. At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was veried to be within its

warranted specications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully calibrated with no further adjustment or

verication testing.

2. If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its rst year, or if the analyzer is more than one year old, additional adjustment and

performance verication 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 specications.
