In order to welcome a group of Spanish scientists in our X-ray laboratories, I am going to put some instruction labels on our X-ray apparatus. Although I told them that 'Hablo un poco de español' I want to be sure they will understand the labels.

What I want to say is this :

  • Place the supplied key, in the mode switch keyhole and turn to the 'ON' position. Insert the plug into the outlet. IMPORTANT: This must be done without installing the batteries. A bell will ring two times. Now the X-ray apparatus has been initialized. On the screen appears “Ready” with a “>” symbol. You can now install the crystal sample you want to measure.

Please correct my mistakes red face on the following text :

  • "Coloque la llave provista, en el agujero del interruptor de modo y gírelo a la posición 'ON'. Introduzca el enchufe en la toma de corriente. IMPORTANTE: Esta operación debe realizarse sin instalar las baterías. Un timbre sonará dos veces. Ahora, el aparato de rayos X se ha inicializado. En la pantalla aparecerá “Ready” con el símbolo ”>”. Ahora puede instalar la muestra de cristal se desea medir." downer

IMPORTANTE: Esta operación debe realizarse sin instalar las baterías. Sonará un timbre dos veces. Ahora el aparato de rayos X quedará inicializado. En la pantalla aparecerá “Ready” con el símbolo ”>”. Ahora ya puede instalar la muestra de cristal que desee medir."

By the way, even though it is a good idea to provide a translation for them, English is the language of science, so I'd be surprised if they couldn't read the English text.
