1. Remove the pipetting pushbutton.
CAUTION:
The pipetting pushbutton consists of 2 parts:
the knob and the pushbutton. After removal of the
pushbutton, both parts are separated.
2. Insert the calibration key into the calibration screw.
3. Holding the volume setting knob to prevent rotation,
turn the key clockwise to reduce the aspirated volume,
or counter-clockwise to increase the aspirated volume.
Use the values given in the above table to precisely
adjust the volume.
4. Remove the key and replace the pipetting pushbutton by
first replacing the knob, then the pushbutton.
Determine the average aspirated volume. The average
volume should be within the permissible range given in
the table. If the volume exceeds the values stated, the
recalibration procedure should be repeated.
When pipetting liquids with physical properties
considerably different from those of water, follow
the guidance given in Section 5.
