This Warranty is limited and applies only to new products, except for computer-based

regarding the condition of used products.
Bio-Tek warrants the instrument (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Products” or
“Product”) for a period of one (1) year from the original purchase date against defective
materials or workmanship. This Warranty is limited to the original purchaser (the
“Purchaser”) and cannot be assigned or transferred. All claims under this Limited
Warranty must be made in writing to Bio-Tek, Attention: Service Department.
Purchaser must ship the Product to Bio-Tek, postage pre-paid. Bio-Tek shall either
repair or replace with new or like-new, at its option and without cost to the Purchaser,
any Product which in Bio-Tek’s sole judgment is defective by reason of defects in the
materials or workmanship.
This Warranty is VOID if the Product has been damaged by accident or misuse, or has
been damaged by abuse or negligence in the operation or maintenance of the Product,
including without limitation unsafe operation, operation by untrained personnel, and
failure to perform routine maintenance. This Warranty is VOID if the Product has been
repaired or altered by persons not authorized by Bio-Tek, or if the Product has had the

Warnings and Precautions
When operated in a safe environment, according to the instructions in this manual,
there are no known hazards associated with the instrument. However, the
operator should be aware of certain situations which could result in serious injury.
Hazard Warnings
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument must be connected to a power
receptacle that provides voltage and current within the specified rating for the
system. Use of an incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical shock
and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a two-prong plug adapter to
connect primary power to the instrument. Use of a two-prong adapter disconnects
the utility ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the system
power cord directly to a three-prong receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Internal Voltage. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the
power cord before cleaning the outer surfaces of the instrument or changing
filters.
Warning! Liquids. Avoid spilling liquids on the instrument; fluid seepage into
internal components creates a potential shock hazard. Wipe up all spills
immediately. Do not operate the instrument if internal components have been
exposed to fluid. If the microplate appears to have been exposed to fluid, the
reading chamber may also have been exposed. To protect the incubator, remove
the top cover and clean the interior.
Precautions
The following precautions are provided to help you avoid damaging the system:
Caution: Service. The system should be serviced by Bio-Tek-authorized service
personnel. Only qualified technical personnel should perform troubleshooting and
service procedures on internal components.
Caution: Replacement Fuses. Use replacement fuses with the required current
rating and specification. Improper fuses or short-circuiting the fuse holders may
cause fire or damage the instrument.
Bio-Tek FL600 vii
Caution: Environmental Conditions. Do not expose the system to temperature
extremes. System performance may be adversely affected.
Caution: Filter Settings. The software filter settings must match the actual
filters used in the reader, in order to prevent possible damage to the
photomultiplier and/or degradation of data.
Safety Symbols
The following warning and informational symbols may be found in various
locations on the instrument. Only qualified personnel who recognize shock
hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions should use this instrument.
