  • Page 7 KEYPAD DESCRIPTION The keypad contains 8 direct keys and 3 functional keys with the following functions: Press to perform the function displayed above it on the LCD. Press to exit the current screen. Press to access the select method menu. Press to move up in a menu or a help screen, to increment a set value, to access second level functions.
  • Page 8 (c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the cuvette, push the plunger down into the syringe until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 0.5 mL mark.
  • Page 9 USING CUVETTES • Proper mixing of the cuvette is done by shaking the cuvette, moving the cuvette up and down. The movement may be gentle or vigorous. This mixing method is indicated with “shake gently” or “shake vigorously”, and one of the following icons: shake gently shake vigorously •...
  • Page 10 • Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added. For best accuracy, respect the timings described in each specific method. • It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it is recommended to take a new zero reading for each sample and to use the same cuvette for zeroing and measurement when possible (for most precise results follow the measurement procedures carefully).
  • Page 11 OPERATIONAL GUIDE POWER CONNECTION AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT The meter can be powered from an AC/DC adapter (included) or from the built-in rechargeable battery. Note: Always turn the meter off before unplugging it to ensure no data is lost. When the meter switches ON, it verifies if the power supply adapter is connected. The battery icon on the LCD will indicate the battery status: - battery is charging from external adapter - battery fully charged (meter connected to AC/DC adapter)
  • Page 12 • After the desired method is selected, follow the measurement described in the related section. • Before performing a test you should read all the instructions carefully. DATA MANAGEMENT The instrument features a data log function to help you keep track of all your analysis. The data log can hold 200 individual measurements.
  • Page 13 S E T U P S E T U P S E T U P S E T U P S E T U P In the Setup mode the instrument’s parameters can be changed. Some parameters affect the measuring sequence and others are general parameters that change the behavior or appearance of the instrument.
