• Insert a PCMCIA card into the card slot beside the mains switch (see
fig. 1 , page 10 ).
• Press the DATA BACKUP button in the SETTINGS menu. A window
with the buttons RESTORE and BACKUP then appears.
• Press RESTORE to write the data from the card to the multistainer
memory. The multistainer then always restarts automatically, acting
just as it does when switched on (
Chapter 5.1 , page 28 ).
• While the data is being written, the buttons are masked and the text
“Backup inprogress...“ appears.
• Press BACKUP to save the current instrument data on the PCMCIA
card. After securing the data, switch off the instrument before
removing the card.
5. Operation
Caution!
When you press a button in the data backup window, all data saved on the PCMCIA card
or elsewhere in the instrument is automatically overwritten.
The data is always saved or loaded into the instrument in its entirety.
It is not possible to transfer individual files on their own (e.g. just the reagent list but not-
hing else).

Backup the data as follows:
• If you do not want to back up any data after calling up the menu, e.g. if
you called up the menu by mistake or there is no (empty) PCMCIA card
available, do NOT insert the card into the slot and press the BACKUP
button to leave the data backup screen.
No data will be written and the text "Backup inprogress..." does not ap-
pear.
However, if you press RESTORE, the instrument will restart as de-
scribed above.
Important!
At least 1 MB of free memory is required on the PCMCIA card.
Otherwise, data backup cannot be completed and the writing of the data to the card will
appear to take a very long time.
In this case (if data backup lasts longer than 2 min.), remove the card from the slot,
replace it with an empty card and repeat data backup.
