Driver/Software Installation
• Start up your operating system. Place the CD included in delivery in the correspon-
ding drive of your computer.
• Now the software should automatically start and you can install the software. If the
CD does not autostart you have to start the installation program on the CD manually
(main directory of the CD, e.g. using „autorun.exe“ or the like).
Follow the program’s instructions.
Observe possible information from the manufacturer on the CD.
• Connect the USB connector to a free USB2.0 port on your computer, using the USB
cable supplied when the software asks you to. Windows recognises the new hard-
ware and completes the driver installation.
• Start the software.
Use
• Move the front side of the camera as close as possible to the desired object (e. g.
place the front side on a daily newspaper).
• Via the big adjustment wheel you can set a sharp picture; using the small adjust-
ment wheel on the side the brightness of the integrated white LEDs can be altered.
☞
Do not overwind the adjustment wheel. Turn the adjustment wheel slowly
so that you can focus the picture exactly. Depending on the distance to the
examined object there might be two positions where the lenses can be
focused (with different zoom levels).
With reflective surfaces or objects the LED light can cause too bright pic-
tures or reflections; reduce the LED’s brightness.

• Rotate the camera, if necessary, until the picture is aligned in accordance with your
needs.
Make sure no objects touch the lens as they might damage it. Do not touch
the optics (lens will get dirty).
• With the provided table stand the microscope camera can be fixed in a certain posi-
tion.
• A slidable plastic plate (with a magnet at the bottom) can be attached to the table
stand. Two metal clamps can be clipped to the plastic plate, e.g. to fixate a slide.
• Instead of the metal clamps the provided rotary table can be put on, which also dis-
poses of a magnet to be easily put on/removed/rotated. Using the rotary table you
can watch small objects with the microscope camera from different directions.
• The button on top of the microscope camera is used to control the photo capture fea-
ture of the software.
Handling
Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room
to a warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product.

speakers
When setting up/operating the product, ensure that the cables are not bent,
overwound or squeezed.
Cleaning
Occasionally check the optics of the microscope camera and clean off dust and dirt.
Use an appropriate lens cleaning system e. g. a clean, soft brush. Do not press on the
optics/mechanics of the camera too strongly since it might get damaged. Furthermore,
