Operation 

 

Power Supply

  

  The unit includes three Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.  

  The unit can run from the batteries or from USB power when 

the USB cable is connected to a PC or to the power adaptor.  

  The Ni-MH batteries will recharge automatically when the 

microscope is connected, with the USB cable, to a PC or to the 
USB power adapter. 

  When the recharger is in the power-off mode, the white LEDs will 

flash twice every three seconds. If the recharger is in power-on 
mode, the 

 icon will be shown on screen.  

  After completely charging in the power-off mode, the white LEDs will 

flash once every three seconds. After completely charging in the 
power-on mode, the 

 icon will be shown on screen.  

  Recharge Ni-MH batteries every few months, even if the system is 

not used to maintain battery strength, this is suggested to extend battery longevity.  

  For lengthy storage periods, remove batteries to prevent damage due to battery 

leakage/ discharge. 

  The unit may also use alkaline batteries. Do not mix battery types in use and do not 

recharge alkaline batteries.  

Powering the Unit  

  Press the power button for 2 seconds and then enter the normal observation Mode. 

The magnified images should now be shown on the screen.  

  By placing the observed object below the aiming mark located on the back of the case, 

the screen will display the observed image desired.   

  You may adjust the transparent protector in front of the lens protector in order to 

provide focus. 

  Press the save button, or zoom wheel, to capture images for purposes of recording.
