Within the first 10 minutes of the incubation period, a BI may be removed for up to 10 seconds.
While the BI is removed, the LED in front of the incubation cavity will blink amber and a
countdown will appear on the
Main Menu

will be canceled and cannot be resumed.

results, the BI should remain in the test cavity.

periodically as a reminder.
