3 Safety regulations

3.2 Battery

1. Use only the USB cable included in delivery of the device. If other cables are used, damage to the
device and charging stand can occur.
2. The device and power adapter may become very hot when charging. Do not cover these devices.
3. If the device overheats in the area of the charging socket, the USB cable could be defective; re-
place the USB cable with a new OEM cable.
4. In applications that require a lot of battery power, the device can occasionally become very hot
(e.g. when working with high-volume tips). In this case, pause pipetting and only resume once
the device has cooled.
5. Never use non-original or damaged power supplies, charging stands or batteries. Non-approved
power supplies or cables can cause the battery to explode or lead to damage of the device.

3.3 Inductive charging

1. Use only the original charging stand for inductive charging.
2. During inductive charging, do not place electrically conductive or magnetic objects between the
device and the charging stand.
3. The device, charging stand and power adapter may become hot during inductive charging. Do
not cover these devices.
4. Do not operate the charging stand outside.
5. People with medical implants are advised to consult with a doctor before using the charging
stand, in order to determine whether the charging stand poses a potential health risk. Please
also observe the applicable regulations regarding the handling of medical implants and radio
wave sources (charging stand).
6. Other devices can be affected during the inductive charging process if they are in close proximity
to the charging stand.
7. Radio waves can be emitted during inductive charging. If the device is not used as described in
the operating manual, harmful interference cannot be excluded.

3.4 Touchscreen display

The touchscreen display can crack if exposed to extreme pressure. Discontinue use of a device with a
cracked display and send it in for repair. Apply tape to the display before sending. Please also observe
the transport regulations, see Sending for repair, p. 104.

3.5 Usage limits

See Limitations of use, p. 100.

3.6 Operating Exclusions

• When the device is operated properly, the dosed liquid comes in contact only with the tip and
not with the device itself.
• The user is responsible for checking the suitability of the device for the intended use. This pre-
sumes that the user is sufficiently qualified for the tasks described in this instruction manual.
• Do not use the device to dose liquids that corrode polypropylene, polyethylene (tip) or poly-
carbonate (housing).
• Avoid aggressive vapors (risk of corrosion).
• The device must not be used for oxidizing acids since metal parts and the electronics can be
corroded.
• If the device is modified by the user, it must no longer be operated. All modifications must be
expressly authorized by the manufacturer.
