The temperature displayed in the Start-up menu is the operating analyzer temperature. Make sure that the
operating temperature is within the recommended range for your Afinion test (see the Package Insert for the

How to switch OFF the Analyzer

Switch off the Analyzer by pressing the ON/OFF button (Figure 1). The Analyzer should be switched off after the end of a
working day.
Please note:
• When the power is turned off, a closing down procedure is initiated. The cartridge carriage will move to a safe position and the
display will be active a few seconds while the Analyzer shuts down. The Analyzer can be switched off, or the power supply
disconnected, without loss of stored results.
• The Analyzer can only be switched off when the cartridge chamber is empty and the lid is closed. If the ON/OFF button is pressed
and the lid is open, the message "Close lid" will appear on the screen.
