NOTE: When the pipette is not connected to the 
charging unit the pipette/display will automatically 
switch off after 10 minutes of non-use. Pipette can 
be switched on by pressing any key.
4.2.  Reset Button
To reset the pipette, press the reset button on the 
battery cover. The display shows RESET and PRESS TIP 
in a blinking form and pressing the tip ejector button 
will reset the pipette to the first programming level 
in PIPET mode.
During the reset function the pipette automatically 
determines the home position for the piston and tip 
ejector by running the piston up and down. During the 
reset function the display shows AUTO TEST and the 
completed reset function is confirmed by showing the 
text DONE on the display. 
NOTE: The pipette must never be reset  with the tip 
attached! The attached tip can induce an error in 
home position determination. However, if resetting 
is accidentally done with the tip attached reset the 
pipette again without the tip attached.
4.3.  Start Button
The start button triggers the aspiration and dispensing 
operations according to selected operating mode. 
Only a soft touch is required to operate the button. If 
the start button is held down during dispensing, the 
piston will stop in the lowest position until the button 
is released. In the operating modes with automatic 
blow-out (P, dd) the piston will automatically return 
to the home position after the start button is released.
If the start button is held down in the reverse pipetting 
mode or during the dispensing of the last aliquot 
in the multi-dispensing modes the piston direction 
symbol will change within one second and the pipette 
will be ready to aspirate the next sample when the 
start button is released.
