1.  After  the  microscope  has  been  used  for  observation  of  a  specimen 

containing bacteria, clean all parts coming in contact with the specimen 
to prevent infection.

?

 Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this product. 

    

?

In  case  the  specimen  is  damaged  by  erroneous  operation,  it  is 

   

important  to  clean  all  surfaces  that  may  have  come  in  contact  with       
the specimen.

2  To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing LED, turn 

the microscopes main switch to the OFF position and disconnect the 
charger  from  the  wall  outlet  in  advance.  Whenever  you  replace  LED 
during  use  or  right  after  use,  allow  the  lamp  socket  to  cool  before 
touching (Fig. 1)

  Applicable LED replacement: LED P/N 2124000-950

3.  Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench. Do not place the microscope on a flexible surface, as this 

could result in overheating/fire.

4. Always use the charging adapter provided by LABOMED. If the proper charging adapter is not used, product safety 

performance cannot be warranted.

5  When installing the microscope, route the charging adapter away from the microscope frame. Should the charging 

adapter come in contact with the microscopes base, the charging adapter could short.

6 After operation of microscope has ceased, be sure to disconnect the charging adapter from the connector on the 

microscope or from the wall power outlet.
