Questions and answers
I am holding down buttons (I have tried multiple) while powering on the centrifuge but cannot get into the system menu. It just says ‘release key’ then shows the usual display. The centrifuge works fine, I just want to turn on the end of run beep!
To access the system menu on the Fisher Scientific GT2 centrifuge and enable the end of run beep:
1. Use the keys below the speed display to navigate through the system menu.
2. Use the keys below the bucket selection until the display shows "YES" for the End of Run Beep.
3. Press the STOP key to quit the system menu.
