ROUBLE

HOOTING

If you do not get an image to view on your LCD screen, here are a
few things to double check:

1. Make sure the AC Adapter is plugged in to an AC power

source and attached to the microscope securely and correctly.

2. Make sure you have the illuminators turned on with maximum

brightness adjustment.

3. Make sure the objective lens you have chosen is set correctly

and it has clicked in the right position.

4. Make sure that the diaphragm (filter wheel) is set correctly at a

click position so that the illuminated light comes up properly

— the normal position is the 6 position (6 mm hole) for

most applications.

5. Make sure the specimen slide is correctly fit into the clamp on

the mechanical stage and properly centered.

6. Make sure the SD Card (if using one) is inserted properly.

If icon does not display, then remove and insert again.

7. Touch Screen Icons not working properly. The microscope

will need to be recalibrated. Turn off the power and as soon
as you see “Power Down” on the screen immediately touch

the screen to enter the calibration mode. With the touch

pen, touch the target in all four corners and the center of the
screen. The icons should work after you turn the microscope
back on. If they do not, try the calibration again, this may take
more than one try.

Your Celestron accessory is a precision optical instrument and

should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and

maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little

maintenance throughout its lifetime.

• When you are done using your microscope, remove any

specimens left on the stage.

• Turn off the illuminator switches.
• Turn off the LCD monitor — push and hold the on/off button

until you see “Power Shutting Off”.

• Unplug the power cord.
• Always place the plastic bag or dust cover over the microscope

when not in use or when being stored to help keep it clean.

• Store the microscope in a dry and clean place.
• Be very careful if using your microscope in direct sun light to

prevent damage to the microscope or your eyes.

• When moving your microscope, carry it by the “arm” with one

hand and not by the focuser knob, LCD monitor, etc. Then, put
your other hand under the base for support.

•  Clean the outside surfaces (metal and plastics) with a moist cloth.
•  Always unplug any cords before cleaning.
•  Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they

can scratch optical surfaces easily.

• Blow off dust with a camel’s hair brush or an air blower from

optical surfaces.

• To clean ingerprints off of optical surfaces, use a lens cleaning

agent and lens tissue available at most photo outlets and
when cleaning do not rub in circles as this may cause sleeks or
scratches to occur.

• Never disassemble or clean internal optical surfaces. This

should be done by qualified technicians at the factory or other
authorized repair facilities.

• When handling glass specimen slides, use care as the edges can

be sharp.

Note: Inserting or removing an SD card while the LCD is on
may cause the LCD to shut down and/or could damage the
SD card.

Transferring Your Images —

To transfer images to a PC or MAC,

you need to have a free USB port and have an imaging program
for snapshots and/or video.

Note: Do not disconnect the USB cable while transferring
images or damage may occur.

1. You can transfer images from the internal storage memory

to your PC by using the supplied USB Cable. The small plug
end of the cable plugs into the LCD Monitor (see Figure 1)

and the large plug end of the cable plugs into your PC. If

the connections are proper you will see on your microscope
screen “MSDC” or similar data. Your PC will automatically
recognize the new hardware. Then you will choose which
program on your PC you want to transfer the images to.

2. If you used an SD card to store your images, you can transfer

them to your PC using the method in # 1 above or you can take
the SD card out and use the SD card slot on your PC (if available)
to transfer the images. In either way your PC will ask you to
choose which program you want to transfer the images to.

Deleting all Snapshots/Video Images –

To delete all images use

the memory format function – Settings / Memory / Format and
choose SD card or Flash memory.
