During start-up the SET DISPLAY shows:
•
If an error is detected, an error message will appear in the SET DISPLAY.

centrifuge was turned OFF.

All OPTIONS selections will also be the same as when the centrifuge was turned OFF.

Note If any LED segments do not light, note which ones and inform Customer Service. Continued
operation when the centrifuge is unable to display all run information correctly could mislead an
unaware observer.
