complete.
Replace 3M™Attest™ Rapid Readout BI in proper well within 10seconds to
prevent loss of collected data.
C4 Ambient Light Caution Move 3M™Attest™ Auto-reader390to reduced ambient light conditions.
E1
Temperature ControlError
This error will occur if system is no longer able to control the temperature of the
incubator block (60ºC +/- 2ºC).
Unplug the unit and plug it back in to clearerror.
If error doesn’t clear, call for repair or replacement.
