Getting Started
1. Picus

Nxt pipettes are delivered
ready for use, with the battery partially
charged. However, for the best results we
recommend fully charging the pipette for
approximately one hour before first use.
Using the USB Charger: connect the
charger to the pipette’s USB socket, and
plug the charger adapter into a power
outlet (mains).
Using the charging stand or carousel:
make sure the charging stand is connected
to a power outlet (mains), and insert the
pipette into the grooves on the charging
stand so that the charging contacts meet.
2. Insert the replaceable Safe-Cone Filter(s)
into the tip cone(s) before use, to reduce
the possible risk of the pipette becoming
contaminated. Alternatively, you may use
filter tips.
3. Press the on|off button on top of the pipette
to turn the power on.
4. Press the tip ejector when indicated by the
display.
5. The pipette is now ready for programming
and use.
