SELECTING YOUR OPTIONS

General Information

All interaction between the operator and the
CLINITEK ® 500 Analyzer is through the touch screen.
Messages, options, and requests for information are
displayed, along with "keys" that can be touched to
respond in the desired manner. A light touch is all that
is necessary to activate the key. Do not use anything hard
or pointed on the touch screen. (If a key does not
respond, press it for a slightly longer time, rather than
harder.)
• If an option key is active, the key symbol is dis-
played fully lit. Whenever an active key is touched, you
will see a change either in the display or in the instru-
ment operation.
• If an option key is not active, the key symbol is
dimmed and a unique double tone will sound if it is
touched.
Several keys are displayed on various screens, and they
will always have the same function whenever they are dis-
played:
