Before first use, ensure that the voltage requirements of the PCR Cycler exactly match your local AC
power supply. Connect the PCR Cycler to the AC power supply only by the AC power cord delivered
with your PCR Cycler XT. Only connect the PCR Cycler XT to electric power systems with an earth
conductor.
The AC power inlet is located at the rear of the Cycler. To disconnect the cycler
from the AC power supply, remove the AC power cord from the AC power inlet. The
accessibility of the AC power inlet must be not hindered or obscured in any way.
If a service is required, contact your local distributor or the manufacturer (see "TECHNICAL SERVICE
AND ORDER INFORMATION", page 36).
The serial number of the PCR Cycler is located underneath the instrument. Unauthorised work on the
device voids the warranty.
The surface of the device should be decontaminated with a lint-free cloth soaked with 70% ethanol
before sending. Please fill in and sign the decontamination certificate and send it to the
manufacturer together with the device.
For safety reasons the device must be switched off and the mains plug pulled before cleaning is
performed!
