STARTING THE INSTRUMENT
Start the instrument by pressing and holding down the START key or by inserting a cuvette:
Note: Insert the cuvette with the label facing up. Push the cuvette all the way in until it stops.
Allow cuvettes to reach room temperature (15 to 30 °C) before opening the pouch. This may
take up to 60 minutes. Consult the cuvette package insert for additional information
concerning cuvette storage and handling.
The prompts that are displayed after the instrument is started depend upon whether the START key or a
cuvette is used and whether or not lockouts are enabled (see the Configuration Manager section on page 26):
