4. Quick start

Directly after turning on the instrument, it is ready and can per-
form measurements. In order to start a measurement, dip a test
strip with all test pads into a urine sample. Draw the long edge
of the strip along the rim of the sample container and press the
same edge briefly to an absorbent towel. Place the test strip on
the transport tray underneath the strip detector. The measure-
ment starts automatically.
To enter additional information for the sample, choose the ac-
tivity-button before placing the strip on the tray. A menu
Edit
appears in which you can enter the patient ID, sequence no., as
well as pre-defined values for clarity and colour.
Note: The instrument features multiple different settings, options
and functions. We recommend to read the manual carefully and
to make individual adjustments, to ensure the instrument func-
tions at its best.

5. Initial operation

This chapter describes the first steps to a successful start-up.

5.1. Insert the transport rack

Before turning on the instrument for the first time, the transport
rack has to be inserted. Remove the black transport tray (2) from
the instrument. To do so, pull on the black handle on the transport
tray's right side.
Before you insert the transport rack, make sure there is no pack-
aging material blocking the mechanics. Take the transport rack
and align its feed holes with the corresponding rubber pins on
the transport panel.
The mounting direction of the transport rack is determined by the
asymmetrical feed holes / pins. Push the transport tray gently
back into the instrument.
