11.3.  Battery Replacement
The design of the 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.
NOTE: The battery 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 invalidate the warranty!
NOTE: Dispose the used battery pack in accordance of 
your local regulations.
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 battery 
compartment and close the battery cover by 
pressing it lightly.
11.4. Storage
When  not  in use it is recommended that  the  pipette 
is  always  stored in the eLINE® Charging Stand or 
Carousel. However, during long storage periods 
(several months) it is recommended to disconnect the 
charging stand and carousel from the main outlet.
It is also advisable to remove the battery pack from the 
pipette. This protects the batteries against discharging 
during the long storage period.

It is recommended to check the performance of your  
eLINE® pipettes regularly (e.g. every 3 months) and 
always after in-house maintenance. However, users 
should establish a regular testing routine for their
