3.2. Charging of the Pipette
The charging stand or carousel operates via a contactless system which is
free from maintenance and sensitive metal contacts. The pipette features
an ON/OFF switch located at the top of the grip of the pipette (Fig. 4). This
switch protects the battery from discharging during long storage periods.
1. Switch the pipette ON (the far left position) (Fig. 4).
2. Place the pipette into the charging stand. The top of the pipette will
fi
t
snugly into the head of the charging stand or carousel. The magnetic
mount will lock the pipette into the proper charging position (Fig. 5).
3. If the pipette is new or the battery is low keep the pipette in the stand
for 12 hours to fully charge the pipette before continuing use.

shows
. Press the START button twice and the pipette
is ready for the default pipetting at maximum volume or for program
changes.
Note:
The pipette will charge in both the ON and OFF positions. Leave
the pipette ON in the charging stand to retain user-selected settings as
switching OFF will reset the unit to default settings.
Note:
If the pipette is left in the ON position uncharged for several days
the display will be empty and there will be no response from the keyboard,
or START button, as the battery voltage will be below the operating level.
