Turning the Instrument OFF
DO NEVER turn off the analyzer by simply flipping the power switch on the rear
panel. Doing so may result in erroneous operation during later use. It can be so,
because the instrument uses diluent. This liquid is an isotonic saline solution
containing salt. Would it not be washed out of special units of the instrument or would
chambers not be filled with this solution may lead to dust condensation or salt build
up.
Therefore always follow the instructions below when switching the instrument off.
In Main menu, select SHUTDOWN. The following screen appears.
