5.2. START Button
The START button triggers the aspiration and dispensing operations
according to selected operating mode. Only a quick click is required to

the lowest position until the button is released. This feature is applicable to
all modes of operation, except for multiple dispensing (d).
5.3. Direction Symbols
These symbols indicate the direction in which the piston moves upon
pressing the START button. The small RIGHT ARROW in the display means
that the next function is to aspirate the liquid. The small LEFT ARROW
in turn indicates the dispensing function in accordance to the selected
operating mode.
5.4. Display
The left display is the status indicator. It informs the user about parameters
to be programmed, functions to be performed and the number of
dispensings available.
The right display is used for programming and displaying the various
volumes needed in different operating modes.
