Before Use:

When moving the microscope use both hands, 

holding by the handle at the back (1) and the base 

(2) as shown at right.

Do not shake or drop the microscope.

Do not not expose the microscope to 

direct sun, high temperatures, dust, or 

damp environments. Use a flat work 

surface. Indoor operating temp 

41°~104°F (5°~40°C), max relative 

humidity of 80%.

When working, the surface of the light source 

will be warm. Make sure there is enough room 

for the heat to dissipate around the light 

source.

Voltage range of 100~240V is supported. 

Additional transformer is not necessary. Use 

only an outlet with voltage in this range and 

use  the power cord supplied with the 

microscope.

Set the power switch to off “O” before 

replacing a bulb or fuse, and wait until the 

lamp is cool. The power switch (3) is located on 

the back of the base of the microscope. 

Microscope uses 12V, 100W halogen bulb.

(Part# 12v100wH).
