4.7 Switching the instrument on
• After being switched on, the instrument will
take a few minutes to initialize. See opposite for
corresponding touchscreen display ( Fig. 13 ).
• If the retort is not locked, a signal tone sounds for
approx. 10 sec. during initialization of the instru-
ment. It is not possible to lock the retort during this
time.
• If the retort is locked, no signal tone sounds. A sig-
nal tone sounds for approx. 10 seconds (waiting
time) when attempting to open the retort. The retort
cannot be opened during this time.
• After that, the FAVORITES screen will be displayed
( Fig. 14 ).
Screen saver
• A screen saver will turn off the screen display if no
key has been pressed for a (user-programmable)
time. Press any part of the touchscreen to restore
the screen.
After having been restored, the on-screen func-
tions will be nonoperational for a few seconds to
avoid accidental activation of any keys.

4. Initial Operation
The instrument MUST be connected to a grounded power socket.
For additional electrical fuse protection, we recommend connecting the Leica ASP300 S to a
socket with a residual current circuit breaker.
• Connect the power cable to the power socket. If applicable, switch on the switch for
the power socket.
• To switch on the instrument, press in the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel of the
instrument ( Item 42 in Fig. 4 ) switching on (ON).
• Switch on the ON/STOP switch on the right of the instrument (ON).
The ON/OFF switch and the side ON/STOP switch should remain switched on at all times to
keep the heater running for the wax baths.
The ON/STOP switch can be used in emergencies to stop the instrument during while a proce-
dure is in progress.
