ENGLISH

1. Carefully remove the microscope and other parts

from the carton and set them on a table, desk, or
other fl at surface.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the microscope.
3. Plug the small cable from the AC adapter into the

socket on the back of the base
(see Figure 2).

4. Insert the plug you need (see note below) into the

AC adapter and then plug the adapter into the proper power source.

NOTE:

The AC Adapter supplied with this microscope has an interchangeable plug system that can work in the

USA, UK, Europe, Australia, and many other parts of the world.

You can easily change plugs for your particular power requirement:

A. You may have one of two different types of adapters. One is shown in

Figure 3A and another one is somewhat similar shown in Figure 3B. Each
has a different means of changing plugs.

B. For the Figure 3A type, push down on the small button labeled “PUSH”

and hold it down while at the same time holding the prongs of the plug.
Rotate it slightly counterclockwise and pull up to remove it. Then release
the “PUSH” button down.

Take the plug style that you want to use and

center it over the AC adapter and rotate
it until it falls into the opening. Rotate it
clockwise until you hear a click, which lets
you know the plug is installed correctly.

C. For the Figure 3B type, pull the plug up and away

while holding the base of the AC adapter. The plug
will come off. Take the plug style that you want to
use and align the two holes in the bottom of the plug
with the two pins in the AC adapter. Then, push the
plug into the AC adapter all the way.

Battery Operation — You can use your microscope

without AC power if you choose. This gives you the
freedom to operate the microscope outdoors or indoors
anywhere you please. You’ll need 4 AA batteries (user
supplied). Open the battery door on the bottom of the
microscope and insert the batteries according to the
battery polarity shown in the battery compartment
(Figure 4). After the batteries are installed, close the
battery door. Battery life will typically be three hours.
