(3). Procedure for Temperature Calibration
Insert thermometer into 16 mm vial which filled with nearly 5 mL glycerol and touches the bottom of vial. Insert the vail on center of heating block as shown on the right. Calibrate temperature as following procedure.

• Digital or mercury thermometer can be used for calibration, please make sure thermometer is calibrated regularly or certified by standard organization to ensure the accuracy.
• General lab thermometers are often not accurate enough for calibration.

Step	Operation	Display
1	Hold down 「」 to enter temperature calibration mode of current program during heating state.	COD 150°C 120′ OK
2	The calibration (1)(2) will be proceeded based on set temperature of current program and screen shows heating state at same time.	CAL 150°C 30°C Heating T
3	A 30-min timer for stabilization shows up after set temperature has been reached.	CAL 150°C 150°C Waiting 30\
4	Adjust the actual temperature on thermometer by pressing「▲ 」and「▼」. Then press 「」 to finish the calibration procedure.	CAL: ADJ 150°C

Note 3.

1. The calibration parameters of each program are independent and have no impact on other programs when executing calibration procedure for specific program.
2. If heating block is hotter than set temperature, you should wait for temperature declining.
3. How to stop calibration procedure:
   Press 「」 then comes with a “STOP HEATING?” message. Press 「」 to stop heating and return to program list, or 「」 to continue calibration.

Maintenance

1. Please operate the instrument in well ventilated area.
2. The instrument is not autoclavable. Please clean the surface by pure water or 75% ethanol.
3. If a vial overflows, or liquid is spilled, please switch off the instrument, unplug the power cord immediately. Clean the instrument as soon as possible while it cools down to prevent corrosion.
4. Incorrect power source may cause fuse blew. A spare fuse is available in fuse holder and can be taken out with flathead screwdriver.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Reason and Solution
Fail to start or Abnormal Display	Loose plug ⇒ Reconnect plug to power supply. Blown fuse ⇒ Replace a new fuse. Instrument is over temperature ⇒ Cool the instrument down and operate in well-ventilated circumstance. Display or components failure ⇒ Contact distributor for assistance.
Liquid spilled during heating process	Incorrect temperature setting ⇒ Reset heating temperature. Incorrect temperature of block ⇒ Calibrate the temperature. Loose vial cap ⇒ Change vial and tighten the cap Incorrect sample volume ⇒ Change new vial and fill right volume Improper reagent ⇒ Change new reagent, world renowned brand is suggested.
Other problems	Please contact distributor for assistance
