Use the table below to interpret the battery status. Icon Displayed Battery Charge Remaining Full battery charge, approximately 75 to 100% Four bars... - Page 5 Relative Flow—A number between 1 and 99 that is relative to a flow rate and changes as flow is adjusted: 1 corresponds to the minimum and 99 to the maximum flow at which the pump can be set. Relative flow is different for each pump. In most cases, 10 ± 5 will correspond to 1 L/min and 80 ± 5 will correspond to 5 L/min.

OPERATION Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate from 1 to 5 L/min • Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another. • Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling. • To achieve the best results, run the pump for 10 to 15 minutes before calibration. Turn on the pump using the on/off button. - Page 7 Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate from 5 to 500 ml/min • Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another. • Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling. • Single-tube sampling requires All-in-One adjustable tube holder; see All-in-One operating instructions for details on operation.

- Page 9 Calibrate Pump Flow Rate with the All-in-One (single tube) Using a small flat-head screwdriver, turn the flow adjust screw on the port clockwise to decrease flow or counterclockwise to increase flow until the method-specified flow rate is indicated on the calibrator. Once flow is calibrated for the tube, it is recommended practice to recheck the flow rate before removing the tube.
