Please refer to fig. 1 (device), 2 (LCD screen), 3 (control panel), and 4 (accessories). Find
your microscope model and view all of the details of the device.

Getting started

• Unpack the microscope carefully and place it on a flat surface.
• Plug the power cable into the corresponding connectors on the base and on the
LCD screen, and then the backlight and screen will turn on automatically.
• Press and hold the "Power on/off" button for 2 seconds on the screen to turn the
screen on and off.
• Place the micropreparation on the movable block and fix it with the specimen
holders. Place the movable block under the objective. The kit includes a set of
ready-made micropreparations for study. Remove the lens cover labeled "Q.C. passed"
from the bottom of the second lens cover.
• Adjust the brightness of the backlight and adjust the clarity of the image with the
coarse focusing knob.
A microSD card (purchased separately) is required to save captured images and recorded
videos. Turn the microscope off and insert the microSD card into the corresponding slot
on the microscope body until it locks in place with a click. Do not apply excessive force
when inserting the microSD card. Try rotating the card, if it does not lock in place with ease.
If the LCD screen freezes, look for the "Reset" button on the back of the LCD screen. Use
a narrow object, such as a straightened paperclip, to press the button. This will reset all
of the settings to the factory defaults and restart the LCD screen. Saved photos or videos
will not be deleted.
Stage inset glass
• Frosted glass stage inset may be used for observations of transparent specimens
or thin slices of objects. Place it on the stage and secure it in place with the locking
screw. Lower illumination source should be used during observations with this
glass stage inset.
• Additional black and white glass slides are supplied with the microscope. If the
specimen is white or bright, then for better image contrast, use a black glass slide
with only the top illumination on. Otherwise, use a white glass slide.
Caution: please refer to the specifications table for the correct mains
voltage and never attempt to plug a 110V device into 220V outlet and vice
versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the U.S.
and Canada is 110V and 220—240V in most European countries.
