2.Press the Start Button twice. The display shows that the unit is ready for the default 1:5 dilution (Mode d1, 5mL) or for program changes.

Switching the pipettor “OFF” and then “ON” will reset the unit to the default settings (Mode d1, 1:5, 5mL dilution).

Mode Selection and Mode Recall

Selecting available modes on the pipettors is done with the use of these three keys:

1.Press once to display the default dilution mode of the pipettor.

2.Press repeatedly to view each of the modes available.

3.Press when the desired mode is displayed. This will enter the mode selection and allow you to use this mode.

Mode recall allows you to flip back and forth between the last two modes used.
