WARNING: In order to prolong the life span of the rechargeable batteries,
the following rules should be followed:
 Before the pipet controller is activated for the rst time, the batteries
should be charged.
 If the pipet controller starts to indicate low battery level during work,
connect it to the charger to continue working.
 Do not leave the pipet controller discharged for a long period of time.
 In case of a planned longer break in using the device, it is
recommended to remove the batteries from the battery compartment

9. Maintenance
Cleaning
The pipet controller does not require any maintenance. Its external parts may be
cleaned with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
The nosepiece and the pipet holder may be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 minutes.
After autoclaving, dry the pipet holder. The lter included in the set may be sterilized
by autoclaving at 121°C for not more than 15 minutes.
Ultra violet (UV) sterilization
The outer body of the pipet controller is UV-resistant, which was conrmed by many
tests. The recommended distance from the radiation source to the exposed element
should be not less than 50 cm.
Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause discoloration of pipet controller
parts, without affecting its performance.
Storage
The pipet controller should be stored in a dry place. The allowable storage temperature
is -20°C to +50°C.
During breaks in the work, the pipet controller can be stored on the wall hanger
or charging stand. The Labnet FastPette Pro charging stand is a device intended to
conveniently charge and store a pipet controller when not in use.
CAUTION: Do not store the pipet controller with a lled pipet.
