PIPETMAN® M CONNECTED
Working with Charger Connected to the Pipette
PIPETMAN M Connected can also be used for pipetting while charging.
1.
Plug the power supply into your pipette.
2. Press the push button to start your pipette.
PIPETMAN M Connected is ready to pipette.
Low Battery Warning
PIPETMAN M Connected has a low battery alert. As the battery runs
down, the low battery message appears. The warning is replaced by a
blinking symbol of an empty battery. If it is not recharged, the pipette will switch off
after a while. Settings will not be lost.
If the battery is completely discharged (= black screen, no operation) connect the
pipette to the charger for at least five minutes, and then a “batt. too low” message
will appear. The pipette will display the last settings used a few minutes later and will
continue charging.
Changing the Battery
If the following symptoms occur, please contact your Gilson Service Center:
●
PIPETMAN M Connected battery won’t charge or will not operate even if
connected to the charger at least for ten minutes.
●
PIPETMAN M Connected battery provides you very short cycle time or
permanently needs to be used in connected mode.
NOTE
You can also recharge PiPETMAN M Connected by USB with your PC;
however it will take much longer than by power supply.

incompatible power supply can damage your PiPETMAN M Connected!
