Mixing
With the Mixing mode the pipette mixes the liquids either manually when the
operating button is held down or automatically a set number of times. The
Mixing mode can be used in conjunction with Pipetting and Diluting modes.
The volume for mixing can be selected freely up to the maximum volume of
the pipette.

of the volume to be dispensed).
2. Turn the adjustment wheel to set the desired volume for mixing.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing either:
a. the operating button or the right Softkey for OK. This also exits the
editing mode.
OR
b. the middle Softkey for NEXT, to move on to select manual or automatic
mixing and the number of mixing cycles.

Multi-Dispensing, and Sequential Dispensing modes, where excess volume is
being used. The excess volume varies according to the volume range of the
pipette.
