5.1 Always think about
- The following environment is required: Indoor temperature: 0-40°C, Maximum relative humi
dity:  % (non condensing).
- Keep the microscope away from dust and shocks while in use.
- Turn off the light immediately after use.
- Use a soft lens tissue to clean the optics after use.
- Only if needed, use a cloth moistened with water and a mild detergent, rinsing with water and
drying immediately with a lint-free cloth.
- After use, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover, and keep it in a dry and clean
place.
5.2 do not!
- Wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can damage the optics.
- Use solvents, neither on the microscope, nor on the optics.
- Disassemble objective or eyepieces to attempt to clean them.
- Mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.
- Clean the unit with volatile solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Attempt to service the microscope yourself.
5.3 How to change the lamp
- Before changing the lamp, you must pull the plug out of the electrical socket. To avoid being
burnt, wait until the lamp has cooled down.
- Hold the main body and tilt the microscope until the bottom base can be seen. Loosen the
door-lock screw of the small door on the bottom base to open the lamp housing. The lamp
and lamp holder come out with the door.
- Pull out the old lamp. Hold the new lamp without touching it with your bare hands (e.g. using
its packaging, or a cloth) and insert it into the holder. Replace/close the lamp holder.
