6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the pipette
To ensure trouble-free operation it is recommended to apply
regular maintenance and cleaning to eLINE Dispenser.
To clean and decontaminate the outer surface use ethanol
(70%), isopropanol (60%) or mild detergent and a soft lint-
free cloth. Gently clean the surface of the pipette with the
moistened cloth and wipe dry.
NOTE:
Remove the battery pack from the pipette prior the
cleaning! It is recommended always to use gloves when
cleaning the pipette. Do not let the liquid enter the pipette
handle!
6.2. Battery replacement
The design of the Biohit eLINE pipettes enables fast and easy
battery replacement. The battery replacement pack includes 4
NiMH batteries fixed to the battery cover. If the batteries do
not hold a sufficient charge for proper operation follow these
steps for replacement of the battery pack.
1. Hold the pipette in a horizontal position with the display
facing up.
2. Press the two charging contacts simultaneously to release
the battery pack.
3. Place the new battery pack into the compartment and
close the battery cover by pressing it lightly.
NOTE:
The battery cover pack fits in to the compartment one
way only. If the pack is inserted incorrectly the battery cover
will not close properly.
NOTE:
Only use battery packs supplied by the manufacturer.
The use of any other type of battery will immediately void
the warranty!
