Power (on, off, sleep mode)

The QuikRead go instrument can be in three
modes: on, off or sleep mode.

Turning power on

To turn the instrument on, press the Power button
on the front panel. The light on the Power button
will indicate that the instrument is powered on.
If nothing happens, ensure that the power outlet is
connected, or if the instrument is on accumulator
usage, that the accumulator is charged.
After pressing the Power button, the backlight of
the display will light up, the instrument will start
and the main menu will appear.
Starting the QuikRead go instrument for the first
time will open a Set-up wizard (see chapter Set-
up wizard).

Turning power off

To turn the instrument off, press the Power but-
ton for approx. two seconds. The instrument
will ask you to confirm the shut down by asking
"Do you want to shut down?". If Yes is chosen
on the touch display, the instrument will turn off.
In case a cuvette was inside the instrument while
shutdown, the cuvette will be lifted up and the in-
strument will ask you to remove it.

Sleep mode

The purpose of the sleep mode is to save accu-
mulator charge in accumulator usage. The sleep
mode will activate automatically when the instru-
ment has been inactive for longer than the time
chosen in personal settings (see chapter Settings
–> Power save). The sleep mode functionality can
be "Full standby" or "Close lid only".
The instrument indicates the sleep mode by blink-
ing the Power button light.
To wake the instrument up, press the Power but-
ton.

Use of the touch screen

The QuikRead go instrument has a colour touch
screen. It is operated by touching the virtual but-
tons by fingers. The screen can be used both with
bare fingers and with gloves on. The touch screen
does not require much pressure, and pressing
too hard or using sharp items may damage the
screen.
There is always a multisensorial feedback to
touching a button: The button will indicate the
touching both visually by changing appearance
and with an audible sound.
A command is registered when the finger is re-
leased from the button touched. If the release hap-
pens outside the initial button area, no command
is given.
