Step 2: Insert the beam into the column, then tighten the beam fixing screw and the beam anti-slip screw clockwise. After the bracket is assembled, loosen the host fixing screw (see Step 2) in a counterclockwise direction, and insert the microscope main unit into the main unit hole.
Adjust the position and orientation of the microscope, and then tighten the fixing screws of the microscope. Be careful not to get the focusing controller stuck in the hole of the main unit during this process. If done correctly, the focusing tube, the microscope screen and the angle between the column and the base 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 affecting normal use.

Quick Start

Andonstar 407-Pro Digital Microscope -Fig3

  1. Connect the microscope to the power supply via the dimmer cable. See the (P3) above.
  2. Then press and hold the Power button (① from the P2 “Buttons”) underneath the display until the display turns on. (It may turn on automatically while you connect cables at the first time, and it’s totally fine.)

*Troubleshooting If the display freezes, locate the “reset ” hole (⑫ from the P2 “Buttons”) 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, the image and video files saved in the memory card will not be deleted.

Adjusting the Magnification and Focus
① Unscrew the beam fixing screw and the beam anti-slip screw counterclockwise to lift the microscope main unit to the required height. The lower the height, the greater the magnification is. But be careful not to let the bottom of the lens touch the object being observed. (Note that you may need to reposition the spotlights when adjusting the object distance). Turn the focus controller(⑧ from the P2 “Buttons”) to focus the image. ② To increase the digital magnification, press and hold the Up button (③ from the P2 “Buttons” ) until the desired digital magnification(up to an additional 3X beyond the optical magnification) is reached. Use the Down button (④ from the P2 “Buttons”) to decrease the digital magnification.

Using a Micro SD Card to Save Images
By using a Micro SD card (not provided), you can save images and videos to review later or export to a computer or other device. Insert the Micro SD card into the TF slot on the top back of the monitor. (be careful with the direction. The side which has metal exposed should face down. See the P3 ) Push it in until you hear a click. (If you don’t push it in far enough, it will be ejected.) *If you insert the card while the microscope’s working, the device would switch off automatically. Press the Power button and hold it until the screen lights up again.

Mode Switch
The Mode button (② from the P2 “Buttons”, marked with an “M”) can be used to cycle between three modes: video standby ( ), still image ( ), and playback ( ). In video standby mode, there are white color numbers located upper left corner of the screen that shows how many times the rest storage of the card would allow you to record video.
To Record Videos
Short press the OK button to begin recording. The elapsed time(red color) in the recording will appear at the top left. To stop recording, hit the OK button again. The OK button on the remote has the same function.
To Capture pictures
In video mode( ), photo mode( ), and while the microscope is recording, short press the Picture Capture button (⑥ from the P2 “Buttons”) to take photos. The picture capture button on the remote has the same function. Note: Unable to take pictures or videos in playback mode.

Reviewing and Managing Images
To review and manage images on the display, use the Mode button to select review mode. Use the Up and Down buttons to cycle through the pictures and videos. To play a video, press the OK button to start playing. Press the OK button again to pause. Hit the Mode button again to enter the video standby mode.
While reviewing a still image or video, the Menu button can be used to provide additional options. Press the Menu button and hold for a while till options show up. Delete: Delete Current: deleting just the current image/video; Delete All: deleting all unprotected images and videos; Protect: Lock Current/All: provides protection for the current/all image/video from deleting accidentally, but not from Format function; Unlock Current/All: unlock the current/all image/video. Slide Show: You can choose 2 seconds, 5 seconds or 8 seconds for each play, and press OK to end the play.
Remote
Freeze: Stop the image on the display, works in video mode, photo mode, and while recording. Illumination+ & -: exposure compensation from +2.0 to -2.0. Sharpness up&down: three levels of sharpness: Soft/Normal/Strong. Those two buttons are both used to switch the levels but in different orders. Contrast up down: same principle as Sharpness

HDMI output

Andonstar 407-Pro Digital Microscope - output

  • Please make sure that the monitor connected to the microscope is an HD monitor, otherwise, the image effect will not reach 1080P.
  • The microscope does not contain a built-in battery, so make sure the microscope is powered on at all times.

Use an HDMI cable to connect the microscope to the HD display (as shown in P5). Adjust the brightness of the LED lights on both sides of the bracket, the focusing controller, and the object distance, and you can see that the observed image is simultaneously presented on the microscope host and the external HD monitor. *Photo and video can be taken in HDMI mode.
Settings
In each mode, press the M button and hold it for a while until the Video/Still/Playback Menu shows up on the display (Or you can press the MENU button on the remote). Hit the M button again, get into the general Setup Menu. For example, if you are in video standby mode, and you press MENU, this is the first menu would show, the “Video menu”:

Gridline Settings (remote needed)
Use “Up” and “Down” to select among “cross line”、“line”、“direction”、“position“color”and “width”.Use “Left” and “Right” on the remote to change the settings.* Gridlines cannot be set without a remote control. Cross line means 十 shaped lines that are located literally in the middle of the view. when you set the cross line “on”, you will see one horizontal and one vertical showing in the middle of the view.

When you turn on the “Line”, there will be 8 lines show up automatically. For each one, you could change it’s direction between “HOR” and “VER”(stand for “horizontal” and “vertical”), position, color, and width.
There are 480 positions on the direction “HOR”, and 800 positions on direction “VER”. So, when you change the direction from “HOR” to “VER”, the position would change at the same time, HOR/VER=480/800. For example, you change a line from HOR&160(P10) to a vertical line, the position would become 266(P11).

If you don’t want that many lines in the view, you could also change the color of certain lines to “TRANSPARENT”.

Date/Time: Press “OK” into Date/time setting. Use “Up” and “Down” to select the correct number for year/month/day. Once you finish setting a number, press “OK” on the monitor to the next number. Or, you can use “Left” and “Right” on the remote to get to the one that you want. Press the “MENU” button on the remote to exit date/time setting directly. If you don’t have the remote, you have to go through all over these settings one by one and then press OK again to exit.

To save settings
After you set everything right, you should turn off the device by pressing the ON/OFF button on the monitor and holding it until the device switches off. If you turn off the device by pressing the button on the switch cable or just simply cutting off the power supply, the setting would not be saved.

1. Why can’t I boot normally?****

– Please confirm that the wiring is normal as shown in P3, and ensure that the product is powered on. After confirming the correct operation, if the machine still cannot be turned on normally, please use the reset hole on the back of the main unit to restart the machine.

2. Why can’t I get a clear image?****

– Please confirm the illumination work properly, and shine directly to the surface of the specimen. Adjust the height of the boom arm, or the secondary bracket lift to change the distance from the lens to the specimen, and turn the focusing tube properly. If the image is still blurry, please clean the bottom of the lens using a piece of a clean and soft cloth

3. Why the setting changes can’t be memorized?****

– After changing settings, press and hold the button on the monitor to switch off the device. DO NOT cut off the power supply directly or use the dimmer cable to switch off the device.

4. Why the microscope reboots repeatedly?****

– Please check if the cable connection is firm and if the power supply is stable and strong enough. Please check your power adapter is high-quality 5V 2A.

5. Why does the system crash, memory card error or memory card full prompt appears after inserting the TF card?****

– After inserting the TF card, please format it first. (Formatting steps: long press the M key to open the menu – then short press the M key to switch to the system function setting bar – press the down key to select – find the format option – press the OK key to confirm) Due to the higher performance requirements of the memory card, when recording video, if it still cannot be used normally after formatting, please replace the high-quality TF card with class 10 or above.
