The red LED flashes during the movement, and is then lit steadily when the end position is
reached.
Press the key again to move the tool back to its starting point. To return the tool manually the
joystick can be moved directly. This terminates the Home function.
Clean moves the capillary out of the medium. In the process, cell particles adhering to the
medium boundary layer are removed from the capillary.

The angle can be decreased at steps of 15°.
The following values can be set: 75°, 60°, 45°, 30°, 15°.
The acoustic signal for 75° is long whereas a double beep signals the factory preset value
of 45°. The other values are acknowledged by a normal beep.
