Pic.5 Wiring Diagram

Quick Start

1. connect the microscope mainframe with the power supply via the switch cable. (See Pic.5)
2. Press the power button (Pic.4/ ①) until the display lights up. (It is normal for the main unit to turn itself on when the power is applied.)

Troubleshooting

If the screen appears to be stuck, reset the system using the “Reset hole” (Pic.4/⑪). The “reset hole” is a small hole on the back of the monitor that can only be pressed with the aid of other tools such as pins. Restart the machine after the system reset (all settings of the machine will turn back to the factory settings, but the images and video files stored in the memory card will not be deleted).

Adjust the magnification and focus
①Use the large knobs on the optical bracket to raise or lower the microscope 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. (When adjusting the height of the microscope mainframe, the positions of the two light sources at the base can be adjusted appropriately for better effect.) Then gently rotate the focus controller (Pic.4/ ⑧) to obtain a clear picture.

②Digital zoom. Use the “UP (Digital Zoom)” button (fig. 4/③) to zoom in digitally. To return to the effect before digital zoom, use the “Down” button (Pic. 4/ ④).

Using a Micro SD Card to Save Images/Videos
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 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 Mode button(number ② from the picture “Buttons”, marked with an “M”) 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 times the est storage of the card would allow you to record video. The‘1080FHD’ means the video resolution is 1080FHD in this mode.

FAQ

1. Why can’t I turn on the computer properly?
   Please make sure that the wiring is connected correctly according to Picture 5 and that the product is powered on. If the product still cannot be turned on normally after confirming the correct operation, please use the reset hole on the back of the main unit to restart the machine.

2. Why can’t I take pictures even if I press the “camera” button?
   Please check the mode status of the product. Under the video mode, you can take photos by pressing the “Camera” button during video recording, but under the camera mode, you can only take photos by pressing the “OK” button. You can’t take photos in playback mode. Please refer to the instructions for “Taking Pictures” under the section “Saving Pictures or Videos Using the Memory Card” for the detailed operation, and follow the instructions in the instruction.

   Make sure that the LED lights work properly. Adjust the light to illuminate the object, adjust the object distance by using the large knob on the stand, and then rotate the focus controller.
