block and sample probe bin numbers in the Service Log at the end of this
user’s guide.  Maintaining a record of this information will facilitate any
necessary service.

When the self-diagnostics have been completed and the instrument is
ready for testing, the display reads 

“

Osmometer Ready

”

. 

NOTE

To avoid any misunderstanding that might arise due to an
unfamiliar display language, all displayed messages may be
changed from English to several other languages. (For lan-
guage selection instructions, see Chapter 2.) 

CAUTION

If a power interruption occurs, turn the instrument off at
once.  Leave it turned off for at least 5 seconds after power
has been restored (even if power restoration is immediate).

Step 5 — Set your date and time

If you wish, you may now change your date and time settings by using
the instructions found on page 13 of this user’s guide.

Step 6 — Check your initial calibration

Your instrument has been carefully calibrated by the manufacturer, but
to verify that this calibration is accurate within your operating environ-
ment, run tests on the 290 mOsm/kg reference solution and/or Protinol

®

biological controls before testing samples. The number and type of tests
that you run should be determined by your own laboratory’s standard
protocol. Use the operating technique described in Chapter 2  when run-
ning these controls. 

If you determine that the initial calibration is incorrect, re-calibrate as
described in Chapter 3.

NOTE

If your Model 3300 has just been moved from a different loca-
tion, it should be allowed to warm up for 20 to 30 minutes
before you run calibration verification tests.
