gently pull the end of the paper
until the full width of the paper
is completely exposed.

 Do not pull the paper

Installation Date __________________________

YES NO
1. Have you reviewed the error messages on page 22?  
2. Does the test table move out to the “load” position when
the Analyser is first turned on?  
3. If Step 2 is NO —
• Is the power cord plugged into a live electrical outlet, into the
transformer, and then into the Analyser?  
• If using the battery pack, are the batteries fully charged and correctly
placed in the pack and the cord plugged into the Analyser?  
4. Does the display show the expected messages? (If the
display is blank, see page 21 for possible causes.)  
5. Does the test table move into the Analyser shortly after
the key is pressed?  
6. Does a test strip dipped into a negative control provide
correct results?  
• Has a second test strip been tried?  
7. Is the name of the Bayer Reagent Strip shown on the display the
same as the product being used? (If using any of the CLINITEK
