Fixing the stand.
• Remove with a suitable screwdriver on the rack (1) at the end of the gearing teeth,
• Fix the camera mount (3) on the rack in such a way that the adapter (5) can be used for the already as-
sembled stand on top of the camera mount.
• Screw back in the previously removed screw. This prevents the camera mount being set too low.
• Place the rack (1) with the mounted camera mount (3) in the base unit (6). Attach the rack on the rear side
with the two Allen screws supplied.
• For the built-in lighting, plug either the USB cable that was inluded into the mini-USB socket on the base
unit (9) and the USB plug into an available USB port on your computer or put four AAA batteries into the
battery compartment on the underside of the base unit. Observe the polarity shown by the symbols in the
battery compartment.
☞
Due to the lower cell voltage of rechargeable batteries (1.2 V), only ordinary batteries (1.5 V)
should be used. We recommend high quality alkaline batteries.
The batteries must be removed from the battery compartment if the device will not be used for a
long period.
