Two beeps indicates that the system has switched to configuration mode.
The
first
line of the LCD display shows the selected menu. If a component (e.g. the reflector turret) is not
available (cannot be configured), the relevant menu (e.g. Set ReflModule) will not be displayed. The
current component position is shown on the right next to the menu designation (position number of the
nosepiece or reflector turret).
Press the LM-Set button briefly (< 1 s, no beep) to switch to the next menu (loop).
The
second
line shows any available submenus.
The submenus can be selected using the TL and RL buttons. TL - next submenu; RL - previous submenu.
The
third
line shows the selected menu / submenu item. The
fourth
line shows the next item on the
menu / submenu. For objectives, the fourth line shows the magnification, aperture and contrast
technique of the selected objective.
The illumination intensity control wheel can be used to scroll through the menu. Rotating the control
wheel to the right scrolls forwards, to the left backwards, through the menu. The currently selected item
is indicated with an arrow (>).
During configuration, when a position (nosepiece and reflector turret) or a setting is changed, the
settings are saved temporarily in RAM. Changes are only saved permanently when the user exits
configuration mode. Some changes require the system to be reset before taking effect.
To exit configuration mode, press and hold the LM set button for at least 2 s. Two beeps indicates that
the system is exiting configuration mode. The LCD display returns to status display mode.

Options during operation (when the status display is active)
The brightness of the LCD display can be adjusted by holding the RL button and rotating the illumination
intensity control wheel.
The LCD display background lighting is turned on or off by pressing the RL button (> 1 s). A low lighting
level or no LCD background lighting can be useful for difficult fluorescence experiments with low
emission intensities.
Pressing and holding the TL button for at least 1 s automatically sets the lamp voltage to the value for
3200 K (ideal for assessing colored specimens).
If a motorized condenser is connected, pressing the single button on the control ring (focus drive, right
side) and pressing either of the buttons on the condenser will display the condenser status.
To save the current illumination intensity of the halogen illuminator in Light Manager, press the LM-Set
button briefly. The message "Saving Light Manager Values" will be displayed on the monitor and an
acoustic signal will be emitted. Prerequisite: CLASSIC or SMART Light Managers have been activated (see
following section).
If you first press the TL button and then briefly press the RL button, the instrument will
automatically set all necessary components (halogen lamp, all shutters, condensers and reflector
turret) for you to see a brightfield image in the eyepieces. This is useful if no image or light is
currently available and you do not know which component has been incorrectly set.
