Levenhuk LabZZ MTB3 Kit (microscope, telescope and binoculars)
Dear friend!
Levenhuk LabZZ MTB3 Kit for children will open up the amazing world of exciting scientific discoveries! With the telescope you can
study the Moon, planets and bright stars, unravel the mysteries of the endless Cosmos and observe the most distant objects. The
microscope, on the other hand, will help you witness the unseen – things so small that you can't see them with the naked eye! It will
help you find out what things around us are made of and what kinds of secrets are hidden from us in every day life. And you can take
the binoculars with you everywhere and watch animals or birds. Your experience with Levenhuk LabZZ MTB3 Kit will be both
informative and entertaining. Carefully read the entire manual before operating the microscope, telescope or binoculars. Don't
lose it; you might need it later.
Information for parents
Dear adults! Remember that you are responsible for your child at all times. Always ensure the child's safety when working
with the microscope, telescope or binoculars. Read this entire manual carefully, especially the handling and maintenance
instructions. Even if your child is old enough and reads well, repeat all the rules aloud one more time before beginning to
work with the instruments. Make sure that he or she clearly understands these instructions.
CAUTION! CHOKING HAZARD! These devices include small parts. The microscope, telescope and binoculars are
designed for children over 5 years of age and should only be used under adult supervision.
Care and maintenance (microscope, telescope and binoculars)
Never, under any circumstances, look directly at the Sun through this device without a special filter, or look at another bright source of light or
џ
at a laser, as this may cause PERMANENT RETINAL DAMAGE and may lead to BLINDNESS. You should ONLY observe the Sun with a professional
solar aperture filter that completely covers the front of the instrument. The front end of the finderscope must be covered with aluminum foil
or other non-transparent material to protect the internal parts of the telescope from damage. For safe solar observations we recommend using
filters with an optical density (OD) of 5.0. Such filters transmit only 0.001% of the sun's light, blocking the remaining 99.999%. Most reliable
solar filters are made of Baader AstroSolar film.
Take necessary precautions when using the device with children or others who have not read or who do not fully understand these instructions. All
џ
parts will arrive in one box. Be careful when unpacking it. We recommend keeping the original shipping containers. In the event that the telescope
needs to be shipped to another location, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope survives the journey intact. Make
sure all the parts are present in the packaging. Be sure to check the box carefully, as some parts are small. Do not try to disassemble the device on
your own for any reason. For repairs and cleaning of any kind, please contact your local specialized service center. Do not touch the optical surfaces
with your fingers. To clean the device exterior, use only special cleaning wipes and special optics cleaning tools from Levenhuk. Do not use any
corrosive or acetone-based fluids to clean the optics.
Protect the device from sudden impact and excessive mechanical force. Do not apply excessive pressure when adjusting focus. Do not overtighten the
џ
locking screws. Store the device in a dry, cool place away from hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from heaters, open fire and other sources
of high temperatures. If you are not using the device for extended periods of time, store the objective lenses and eyepieces separately from it. Be
careful during your observations, always replace the dust cover after you are finished with observations to protect the device from dust and stains. Do
not use the device for lengthy periods of time, or leave it unattended in direct sunlight. Keep the device away from water and high humidity. When
using the microscope, try not to use it near flammable materials or substances (benzene, paper, cardboard, plastic, etc.), as the base may heat up
during use, and might become a fire hazard. Always unplug the microscope from a power source before opening the base or changing the illumination
lamp. Regardless of the lamp type (halogen or incandescent), give it some time to cool down before trying to change it, and always change it to a
lamp of the same type.
The chemicals might be harmful to human health. Use only those specified in the user manual. Make sure that your child knows how to use with them
џ
correctly. The workplace should be kept clean and tidy. Don't work with specimens in the kitchen near food you eat. The area should be well lit. You
also should have fast and convenient access to clean water. Find a separate bucket for waste. All liquids should be poured down the drain, not into the
sink. The kit includes everything needed for assembly, but if you need some additional tool you can use a basic set of standard instruments that almost
everyone keeps at home.
Seek medical advice immediately if a small part or a battery is swallowed.
Batteries safety instructions
Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use. Always replace the whole set of batteries at one
џ
time; taking care not to mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to
battery installation. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Remove used batteries promptly. Never attempt to
џ
recharge primary batteries as this may cause leakage, fire, or explosion. Never short-circuit batteries as this may lead to high temperatures,
leakage, or explosion. Never heat batteries in order to revive them. Do not disassemble batteries. Remember to switch off devices after use.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children, to avoid risk of ingestion, suffocation, or poisoning. Utilize used batteries as prescribed by your
џ
country laws.
