4. When this information is correctly entered, select
Enter or scan the Enter
code from the color or clarity card.
The display changes to allow entry of the next ID number, and the push bar

NOTE: If another ID is entered without a strip being detected, the analyzer
automatically creates a loadlist.

Sample IDs‚ page 102 for information on this setting.

dipping each reagent strip.
NOTE: Duplicate ID numbers are allowed by the analyzer.

2. Enter the
ID for the first specimen.
Select
A-Z to enter alphabetic characters.
You can also enter the ID from a computer keyboard, or scan it from a
