Assembly

1. Screw the metal bracket on to the base (P2 ).
2. After completing the above steps, if you need to adjust the direction of the beam on the column, you can loosen the column fixing ring to adjust the direction of the column. Tighten the post retaining ring clockwise when finished.
3. Screw the microscope mainframe thumbscrews (P3) on the large circle of the beam outwards to leave enough space for the microscope host.
4. Insert the host of the microscope into the large circle of the beam of the column.
5. Adjust the position and orientation of the host, and then tighten the fixing screws of the host. Note that during this process, the microscope must not be stuck in the position of the focusing barrel. If the installation operation is correct, after installation, the focusing tube, the screen of the microscope and the angle between the column and the bottom plate can be adjusted freely. If there is any problem during installation, please contact us in time to avoid damage to the product caused by improper installation and affect normal use.

Quick start

Connect
To use the microscope stand alone, you need to connect the host fixed beam to the power supply via the switch cable. See the picture(P6) below.

Switch on
Then press and hold the Power button (① P4 “Buttons”) underneath the display until the display turns on. (It may turn on automatically while you 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 video.If you still have questions, please contact us in time.

Adjusting the Magnification and Focus

1. Use the large knobs on the metal bracket to raise or lower the host fixed beam to the desired height. The lower the height, the greater the magnification is. But be careful not to let the bottom of the lens contact the object being imaged. (Note that you may need to reposition the spotlights as you move the beam up or down.)Turn the Focus controller(⑨ P4 “Buttons”) to focus the image.
2. To increase the digital magnification, press and hold the Up button (③ P4 “Buttons” ) until the desired digital magnification(up to an additional 3x beyond the optical magnification) is reached. Use the Down (④ P4 “Buttons”) button to decrease the digital magnification.

Using a Micro SD Card to Save Photos or Videos
By using a Micro SD card (not provided), you can save photos and videos to review later or export to a computer or other device .

Attention:

1. TF card are not included in the standard package. Please purchase it from quality suppliers. We recommend 10 grade high speed TF card.
2. Metal strip side of the card faces outward.
3. Push the card deeply into the card slot until you hear a click sound. Otherwise it would bounce back.
4. When the monitor shows “card error” or “card is full”, please format the card first before take pics. Format steps are: Press and hold button M until it shows a menu→press M button again to get into Setting menu→Press up or down button to select→choose”Format”→press OK button to confirm.

• Do not insert a card while microscope is working. If you do, the microscope would switch off automatically. And you will have to turn it on again. In order to take videos, pictures, or playback files we have taken, we need to get into different modes firstly. MODE button（② P4 ，marked as“M”）can be used to selected among three modes, video , photo and playback . In video mode, there are white numbers to the right of the mode icon, indicating the amount of time the memory card’s remaining memory is available for video recording.

Record videos
In video mode and photo mode press “OK” button to start recording. Press it again to stop. It works the same way with the “OK” button on the remote.

Take photos

In video mode , photo mode and while the microscope is recording, press “Capture” button to take photos. The button marked as a camera on remote works the same way.

Attention:

1. You cannot take pictures or videos in playback mode.
2. If there is an abnormality such as a crash when switching video or photo modes, please format the memory card and reconnect the power before use. If the same problem still occurs, please replace the class10 high-speed card.

Playback & manage files
Use button “M” to get into Playback mode, press “up” or “down” to browse files. In order to play videos, press“OK”to play it, “OK”to pause, “M” to stop.

Settings
In any mode, press and hold M button until it shows video/photo/playback menu, press M again, get into Setting menu. For example. In video mode, press and hold M button, it would show video menu as below:

And then, press M again to get into setting menu,as below

Save Setting
In order to let the microscope memorize the setting changes, please turn off the microscope by PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON ON THE MONITOR (press and hold until it switch off). Setting changes won’t be saved if you switch off the device in other ways.

FAQ

Why it says ‘missing files’ during installation or initiator procedure?
Please confirm that in the system there are Microsoft. Net Framework 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtime.

The software works fine, but the software can not recognize the microscope.
Firstly, please make sure that you have connected the microscope to the PC properly and have chosen ‘USB camera’ on the microscope monitor. Secondly, if there is still no image, please check the ‘Device Manager’ of your PC, delete the previous USB camera from “image devices”, then rescan device changes. Let the system identifies again. After its done, in the ‘Imaging devices’ there should have shown the current USB camera device name, which is “USB Camera”. Then reboot the software.

Why there is a measurement error?
In order to get a more precise measure result, you would need a more precise calibration. And when you apply a calibrator to measure a length, you need to keep the magnification still, which means you need to keep the object distance still as when you set the calibration.

The host restarts or a black screen appears during the operation?
Please check whether the power supply is sufficient and stable. You can try to replace the power supply. It is recommended to use a 5V 2A and above specification plug.

When viewing pictures, the picture freezes?

Because this product needs a high-quality memory card to record high- definition images and videos, please format the memory card and reconnect the power before use. If similar problems still occur, please replace the class10 high-speed card.
