What’s in the box
Quick start
Note
- To give you a good experience, please adjust the microscope and plastic bracket before using, then remove the screen guard film on the screen.
- If the light barrier is not over the bottom light, please adjust its position.
Connect
Firstly, connect the optical stack to the power supply via the switch cable. See the picture(P3) above. This microscope supports a battery(18650), it’s not included in the package, please purchase separately.
Switch on
Then press and hold the Power button (on/off ) underneath the display until
the display turns on. (It may turn on automatically while connecting cables at
the first time, and it’s totally fine. )
Troubleshooting
If the display freezes, locate the “reset ” hole on the back of the monitor. Use a narrow object such as an unfolded paperclip to depress the button located inside. This resets all settings to their factory values and restarts the display. It does not erase saved images or videos.
Adjusting the Magnification and Focus
- Use the large knobs (Colored knobs) on the bracket to raise or lower the optical stack to the desired height. The lower the height, the greater the magnification is. But be careful not to let the bottom of the stack contact the object being imaged. Turn the Focus controller to focus the image.
- To increase the digital magnification, press and hold the Up button (‘Λ Button’ ) until the desired digital magnification is reached. Use the Down button( ‘ V Button ’ ) to decrease the digital magnification
Using a Micro SD Card to Save Images
- By using a Micro SD card (not provided, please purchase separately), you can save images and videos to review later or export to a computer or other device
- Insert the Micro SD card in to the TF slot on top back of the monitor. (be careful with the direction. The side which has metal exposed should face down. See the picture 6 ) Push it in until you hear a click.(If you don’t push it in far enough, it will be ejected. )
- The ‘M’ button (Mode button) can be used to cycle between three modes: video standby ( ), still image ( ), and review ( ). In video standby mode, there shows ‘time’ & ‘1080FHD’ (white color font) at the top right of the display. The ‘time’ means how many time the rest storage of the card would allow you to record video. The ‘1080FHD’ means the video resolution is 1080FHD in this mode. To record videos
- In the video standby( ), press the OK button briefly to begin recording. The elapsed time(red color font) in the recording will appear at the top right.
- To stop recording, short press the OK button again. The OK button on the remote has the same function.
