6. If a flow cell or diagnostic cell is to be installed: For instructions on
installing a flow cell, see
installing a diagnostic cell, see
(} page 142).
7. If no flow cell is to be installed afterward: Install the cover to the
flow cell opening on the device:
a) Check the position of the rotating locks on the cover. The
rotating locks must be in a horizontal, open position. If required,
turn the rotating locks counterclockwise to a horizontal position.
b) Position the cover onto the flow cell opening. Make sure that
the cover is in the correct orientation.
c) Turn the rotating locks clockwise to a vertical position to close
the rotating locks and thus, to cover the flow cell opening.
NOTICE
The flow cell opening on the device is sensitive to dust and debris.
If no flow cell is installed to the device, close the flow cell opening with
the cover for the flow cell opening.

NOTICE—Sensitive Flow Cells
Flow cells are highly sensitive to damage. Observe the following
guidelines for use of the flow cell:
• Handle flow cells with care.
• Mechanical shocks, mechanical vibrations or intruding objects can
lead to leaks on the flow cell or even destroy it. Avoid exposure of
the flow cell to mechanical shocks or vibrations. Do not let it hit hard
surfaces. Do not intrude the flow cell enclosure with any objects. Do
not open the flow cell enclosure and do not disassemble the flow
cell.
