Before use
1.1 General notes
The packaging must be opened carefully to prevent any accessories inside from falling
to the floor and breaking.
In general, a microscope should always be handled with great care, as it is a sensitive
precision instrument. Avoiding abrupt movements during operation or transport is
therefore particularly important, especially to avoid endangering the optical
components.
Similarly, you should avoid dirt or fingerprints on the lens surfaces, because in most
cases this reduces image clarity.
If the performance of the microscope is to be maintained, it must never be
disassembled. Components such as objective lenses and other optical components
should therefore be left as they are found at the beginning of operation.
1.2 Notes on the electrical system
Before connecting to a power supply network, it is important to ensure that the correct
input voltage is used. The information to select the correct mains cable is located on
the device, on the side of the product directly next to the connection socket. You must
comply with this information. If you do not comply with these specifications, then fires
or other damage to the device could occur.
Likewise, the main switch should be turned off before connecting the mains cable. This
prevents an electric shock from being triggered.
If you use an extension cable, the mains cable used must be grounded.
All handling of the units that involves contact with the electrics, such as changing
lamps, may only be carried out when the power supply is disconnected.
