5.1 Fido X4 Power On Sequence
Before powering on the Fido X4, ensure that a charged battery has been properly installed,
and that all hardware components, such as the detector inlet and thermal desorber are con-
nected. Also, ensure that a sensing element is installed in the system.
5.1.1 Startup
To turn on the Fido X4, press and hold the power button, releasing when the display back-
