• Do not use the CM-700d/600d at altitudes higher than 2000 m.
• The CM-700d/600d 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
• When using the instrument upside-down, make sure no dirt or dust get into the specimen measuring port.
• When using the instrument for long periods of time, the displayed 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 Cap.
White Calibration Cap
• The White Calibration Cap must be used in combination with the instrument that bears the same pairing number.
•
The calibration data for the White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap was measured at 23°C.
To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring absolute values (colorimetric values), calibration and
measurement should be performed at 23°C.
• Do not allow the White Calibration Plate to get scratched or stained.
• When not using the White Calibration Cap, invert it so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to
ambient light.
• When the White Calibration Cap is attached to the instrument, do not hold on to the White Calibration Cap to
move the instrument. The cap may become detached from the instrument, causing the instrument to fall and
become damaged.
Target Mask
• Do not touch the Target Mask’s inner surface by hand, scratch it or make it dirty.
• When not in use, Target Masks should be stored in the cardboard box used for shipment or in the optional hard
case so that they will not be exposed to ambient light.
E-2
Power Source
• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF (“ ”) when the CM-700d/600d is not in use.
• The CM-700d/600d can be powered from either the AC adapter (AC-A305) or AA-size alkaline or nickelmetal-hydride rechargeable batteries. Note, however, that you cannot use this AC adapter to charge the nickelmetal-hydride rechargeable batteries installed in the instrument.
• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A305) and connect it to an AC outlet of the
rated voltage and frequency. Use an AC power supply of the rated supply voltage (within ±10%).
System
• Do not subject the CM-700d/600d to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause deterioration in
performance or a breakdown.
• Since the specimen measuring port and integrating sphere are extremely precise optical components, great
care should be taken to prevent them getting dirty or exposing them to impact.
• When not in use, the instrument must be stored with the White Calibration Cap being attached.
• The CM-700d/600d may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc.
• When the instrument is exposed to strong external static electricity, the LCD may go blank or the measurement
result may not be displayed properly. If the instrument is communicating with an external device, the
communication may be interrupted. In these cases, turn the power OFF and then turn it ON again. If black
smudges appear on the LCD, wait until they disappear naturally.
• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF.
Backup Battery
• Measured data and various settings are stored in the memory backed up by batteries. The backup batteries are
automatically charged during operation of this instrument, and can retain the contents of the memory for 5
months if they have been fully charged. At the time of purchase, the backup battery may not be fully charged.
To charge the backup battery, set the power switch to ON. Charging of the backup battery is performed
continuously while the instrument is switched on, even while the instrument is being used. Full charging is
completed in 24 hours, and there is no danger of overcharging.
• It is recommended to keep a backup for your important data on another recording medium using the optional
Color Data Software SpectraMagic™ NX (CM-S100w).
Note
• The backup batteries' model number is ML2020 (3 V).
• Do not try to replace the backup batteries by yourself. Contact a KONICA MINOLTA SENSING-authorized
service facility.
Notes on Storage
• The CM-700d/600d should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 45°C, and at a relative humidity of 80%
or less (35°C) without condensation. Do not store the instrument in areas subject to high temperatures, high
humidity, sudden changes in temperature, or where freezing or condensation may occur, because these
circumstances may cause a breakdown. It is recommended to store the CM-700d/600d with a drying agent
(such as silica gel) at a temperature around 20°C.
• Do not leave the CM-700d/600d inside a car such as in the cabinet or trunk. Otherwise, the temperature and/
or humidity may exceed the allowable range for storage during midsummer or midwinter, resulting in a
breakdown.
• Keep the packing materials used for shipment and use them to transport the CM-700d/600d. This protects the
instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock.
• Do not store the CM-700d/600d in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so
may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.
• Entry of dust into the specimen measuring port will hinder accurate measurement. When the instrument is not
in use, you must attach the White Calibration Cap to the instrument to prevent the entry of dust into the
integrating sphere through the specimen measuring port.
E-3
• The White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap may become discolored if left exposed to
light. Therefore, make sure that the cap is inverted when it is not in use so that the White Calibration Plate is
not exposed to ambient light.
• The Target Masks may discolor if they are left exposed to light. When they are not in use, keep them in a safe
place to prevent exposure to light and to protect them from scratches and dust.
• Be sure to keep all packing materials (cardboard box, cushioning material, plastic bags, etc.). They can be used
to protect the instrument during transportation to the service facility for maintenance (re-calibration etc.).
• If you are not going to use the CM-700d/600d for more than two weeks, the batteries must be removed. If the
batteries are left in the instrument, battery electrolyte may leak and damage the instrument.
Notes on Cleaning
• If the CM-700d/600d becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth. Never use solvents such as thinner or
benzene.
• If the White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft,
clean and dry cloth. If dirt is difficult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commerciallyavailable lens cleaning solution. Then remove the solution with a cloth dampened with water, and leave the
plate to dry.
• If the inner surface of the Target Masks or the inside of the integrating sphere get dirty, contact a KONICA
MINOLTA SENSING-authorized service facility.
• Should the CM-700d/600d break down, do not try to disassemble and repair it by yourself. Contact a KONICA
MINOLTA SENSING-authorized service facility.
Disposal Method
• When disposing of used batteries, insulate the terminals with insulating tape etc. If the terminals of the battery

Battery Alarm
The CM-700d/600d can be powered from the standard AC adapter (AC-A305) or AA-size alkaline or
nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries. When the instrument is used with batteries, two types of
battery alarm indication will appear when battery power level is low. When the battery power is
sufficient, no battery alarm indication is displayed.
(Low battery indication)
When this indication appears, new batteries or the AC adapter should be prepared in the near future.
Even with this indication displayed, measurements are still possible.
If you continue using the instrument with the low battery indication being displayed, ER002 (low
battery voltage error) is displayed. When this error is displayed, replace the batteries immediately
with new ones or connect the AC adapter.
Data Saving
Data used with this instrument are saved automatically. The white calibration data stored in the internal
memory after you perform white calibration is retained even after the instrument is turned off.
Pairing Number
In addition to individual serial numbers, the instrument and White Calibration Cap bear 5-digit numbers
called “pairing number”. Before starting white calibration, confirm that the instrument and White
Calibration Cap have the same pairing number.
