Pipette and method of operating a pipette

A method of operating a pipette,

• the pipette comprising
• a cylinder,
• a piston which is arranged axially displaceably in the cylinder, wherein an axial movement of the piston is limited by an upper stop and a lower stop so that a piston stroke is defined,
• a volume display for displaying a pipetting volume associated with the piston stroke,
• a display adjustment mechanism for changing the volume display,
• an adjustment display for indicating an adjustment of the pipette via the volume display, and
• a volume adjustment mechanism for changing the piston stroke,
• the method comprising the following steps:
• in a first operation mode of the pipette, operating the volume adjustment mechanism of the pipette and the display adjustment mechanism of the pipette, and thereby setting a piston stroke of the pipette, and actuating the volume display of the pipette, and
• in a second operation mode of the pipette, operating the display adjustment mechanism of the pipette, changing the volume display of the pipette and the adjustment display of the pipette, and maintaining the piston stroke of the pipette set.
