Avoiding device damage
Never open the camera housing!
The camera's CMOS chip is extremely sensitive. Electrostatic discharge can
permanently damage the camera.
Therefore, never, under any circumstances, open the camera housing!
Avoid vibration shocks!
Mechanical shocks and strong vibrations can damage the camera.
Don't drop the camera during installation. Make sure it is securely mounted on the
microscope. When it's not in use, store it in a safe place!
Secure microscopes with additional components!
A top-heavy microscope can tip over or fall down and result in damage to both the
camera and the microscope.
If the microscope is top-heavy or otherwise unstable, fix it to the wall!
Don't touch the protective glass!
The protective glass over the CMOS chip is extremely sensitive and must not come
into contact with bare hands or any other objects, otherwise the acquisitions will be
impaired by fingerprints or scratches.
Remove dust from the protective glass carefully with compressed air. For the
removal of dust stuck due to static electricity, ionized air is recommended.
Observe the operating conditions!
Exposure to high temperatures or humidity can damage component parts of the
camera.
Always observe the operating and storage conditions (see chapter 1.4 on page 6).
Don't expose the camera to strong light!
Exposure to strong light can cause the camera to overheat, which may cause
damage to its component parts.
Do not expose the camera to strong light (such as sunlight) for long periods of time.
Only use the USB cable that is delivered with your camera
Operate the camera only with the USB cable that is part of the camera's scope of
supply. This ensures that the EMC basic standards are fulfilled.
