Safety Precautions:
To guarantee problem free, safe operation of the Greiner Bio-
One Sapphire MaxiPette, read these safety precautions before
using.
• General safety regulations should be observed. Protective
clothing, goggles and gloves should be worn.
• This controller shall be used only for measuring liquids
under conditions specified by the manufacturer, which are
limited due to the chemical and mechanical resistance of
the device, as well as the user safety.
• Do not use the controller in a potentially explosive environment
or with potentially explosive, flammable liquids.
• Only the manufacturer's original spare parts and accessories
can be used.
• Use only the original charger, supplied by the manufacturer.
• The use of excessive force should be avoided.
• The controller operates on a small, powerful lithium-ion
battery. Misuse or damage of the lithium-ion battery may
cause damage or injury through fire, electric shock, or
chemical leakage.
• Do not short-circuit, puncture, crush, disassemble, damage,
force over-discharge (reversal) or modify the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to water or moisture.
• Do not use a leaking battery.
LIMITATIONS OF USE:
• The controller may not be used in an environment where
an explosion risk is present. Do not use with flammable li-
quids or substances with a flash-point below or 37°F (ether,
acetone, etc.).
• The controller can't be used with solvents whose vapors
attack silicone, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyp-
ropylene (PP), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF).
• Do not use for drawing acids with a concentration above
1 mol.
• Do not use for drawing solutions with a temperature above
50°C / 122°F.
• This controller may be used in the temperature range from
+5°C to +40°C or 40°F to 105°F.

Battery installation:
1. Open the battery cover by sliding the cover outward.
2. Connect the battery cable to the unit. The red wire should
be on the top side. ATTENTION: The blue printed foil is part
of the battery. Do not unwrap the battery further.
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.
4. Align the battery cover with cover slot first. Close the
battery cover by sliding the battery cover inward. Do not
pinch the cable by the battery cover.
5. Please charge the lithium-ion polymer battery 4 hours
before first-time operation.
Mounting the wall support:
The controller is supplied with a wall mount that can be attached
to a wall with 2 stickers (provided). The wall mount can hold the
nose cone of the pipette controller and it keeps the pipette con-
troller in a vertical position. Please follow the procedure below
to perform installation.
1. Adhesive tape works best on smooth surfaces, e.g. metal,
glass or plastic surfaces. Clean gently e.g. with isopropyl
first.
2. Remove the liner and press the wall mount directly onto the
wall for 30 seconds. The harder you press, the stronger the
adhesive bond will be.
3. Wait 24 hours before hanging the pipette controller on the
mount

Recharging the procedure:
When the battery indicator turns red (low battery), follow the
steps below to recharge the battery.
1. Plug the mini-USB jack of the charger adapter into the
mini-USB socket in the base of the unit and into an external
power source.
2. The battery indicator will start blinking red during charging
period.
3. After the battery is fully charged, the battery indicator will
turn blue. The charging period takes approximately 4 hours.
Note: Charge the battery at least once every 3 month to avoid
over-discharge which might damage the internal battery cells,
even you did not use the controller during this period. The con-
troller can be operated during the recharging period.
