Instructions for Use V 3.0 RevE – 04/2013
Press the PRIME button once. The message "ACTIVATING"
appears and the instrument continues to generate pressure
in the coverslip mountant bottle until the pump noise can no
longer be heard and the message "PRIME" appears.
Now press the PRIME button a second time. Hold the but-
ton until the coverslip mountant comes out of the dispenser
without bubbles. Do not dispense coverslip mountant into the
existing glass vial; use an alternate container instead (e.g.
upper part of the cover slip packaging).
If sufficient coverslip mountant has been dispensed, the
message "DISP. POSITION" appears. Move the dispenser into
working position. The message disappears and the instrument
is ready to operate. The displays shows the message "READY".
If the "READY" LED switches from red to green, the coverslip-
ping operation can be started by pressing the "START" button.
5. Operation
A loaded specimen slide holder can now be inserted into the
loading bath. After inserting it, push the loading drawer back
and close the loading door.
The message "PRIME POSITION" appears. Take the dispenser
out of the rest position; the message "PRIME TO ACT." is dis-
played.
5.3 Switching the instrument on or off (continued)
Important!
In general, when inserting or removing the dispenser,
make sure that caution is used during movements at
the time of insertion or removal. If the dispenser falls
down, it can cause injuries to users and damage to
the dispenser group/instrument.
