Pipette Operation - Thermo Scientific Finnpipette Novus Bedienungsanleitung

Charging the battery
Warning: Use only the original Finnpipette Novus charger and battery pack.
The pipette battery may be empty when delivered and must be charged before initial use. Connect
the lead of charger to the socket on the back of pipette. Then connect the charger to an AC wall
socket. If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before the pipette will turn
on. You can use the pipette while the charger is connected. The charging time is typically less
than one hour. An indicator in the LCD display shows the charge level of the battery. When the
indicator shows empty battery, pipetting is no more possible, and the pipette has to be charged
again. To extend battery life cycle, it's recommended to charge the pipette every two months even
the pipette is not used daily. A typical Finnpipette Novus battery lasts for around 500 charging
cycles. Please note that an old battery can cause the pipette to malfunction. We recommend that
you change the battery every 3 years.
Adjusting the trigger position
The index finger operated trigger, which activates the piston movement, can be adjusted by rotating it
60 degrees to both directions of the center position. Usually right handed operators turn it left (counter
clockwise) to get the best possible position for the thumb to eject the tip. See picture on page 5.
Tip ejection
To help eliminate the risk of contamination, each pipette is fitted with a tip ejector system.
The tip ejector system consists of a soft-touch tip ejector and specially designed gearing
mechanism. To release the tips, point the pipette at suitable waste receptacle and press the tip
ejector with your thumb.
Shelf hanger
You can attach the pipette shelf hanger on a counter, pipette stand or anywhere where you want to
hang your pipette. Clean the area where you plan to attach the shelf hanger. Apply two stickers to
the underside of the shelf hanger. Press the shelf hanger firmly into place — on a shelf, countertop
or pipette stand. To use, hang the grippy finger rest on the shelf hanger.
