Operation and Use
Shipping Mode:
ali-Q is shipped from the factory in
Shipping
mode for safety and to preserve battery life. When you first
take your ali-Q out of the box, you must wake it out of shipping mode by pressing the
aliquot button
with
the unit in the upright position.
To put the ali-Q back into Shipping mode, turn the unit completely upside down and press and hold the
aliquot button
.
Shipping mode should only be used when shipping or transporting ali-Q.
Sleep Mode:
ali-Q automatically goes into
Sleep
mode to preserve battery life after being motionless for 10 seconds.
The LED will blink
RED
when entering sleep mode. Once the
ali-Q
is picked up
or moved,
it will
automatically wake itself up, and LED will blink
GREEN
Pipetting speed control:
In Conventional
Pipetting
Mode
(see next page),
t
he speed that the ali-Q
aspirates and dispenses liquid is controlled by the touch-sensitive aspirate and dispense buttons. The
amount of force used to push on the buttons determines the speed that the liquid enters or exits the
pipet.

Wall Mount:
ali-Q may be stored in the wall mount to avoid damage from accidental drops and chemical
spills (and save precious bench space!). ali-Q may also be placed in wall mount with
sero
pipet
s up to
50mL
installed. Wall mount will firmly adhere to any
smooth, clean, non-painted
surface,
such as the
inside of a hood
, using the 3M Command strips included
. Clean the surface with alcohol before applying
the wall mount. Remove the stickers on the adhesive backs and immediately press onto surface and keep
applying moderate pressure for about 30 seconds. DO NOT place ali-Q into wall mount for about 30
minutes, to allow adhesive to set.
