Maintenance and cleaning
Always cover the microscope with a dust cover after use. Keep the eyepieces mounted in the microscope tube at all times, to prevent dust from getting into the device.
Cleaning the optics
If the lenses of the eyepiece are dirty, they can be wiped with a piece of lens paper (circular movements). If this does not bring an improvement, moisten the lens paper with
a drop of xylene or alcohol. Never apply xylene or alcohol directly on the lenses!
If dirt is clearly visible in the field of view, this is located on the lowest lens of the eyepiece. The eyepieces can be removed from the tube with the aid of a Phillips screwdri-
ver (size 00). Now clean the outside of the lens. If dust is still visible, make certain that the dust is really in the eyepiece by rotating the eyepiece. If this is definitely the case,
carefully unscrew the bottom lens from the housing and clean it.
Warning:
Cloths with plastic fibres can damage the coating of the lenses!
Cleaning the stand and toothed rack
Dust can be removed with a brush. If necessary, the toothed rack and the guide of the focusing mechanism can be treated with a little grease or oil.
Procedure for illumination problems (incident light / transmitted light)
The built-in LEDs have a very long service life. If there is a problem with the illumination, please send the microscope to our
Service Center → Servicecenter@brw.ch.
Warning:
LEDs or electronic parts may only be repaired or replaced by qualified personnel! In the event of non-compliance, any liability will be refused.
Charging the batteries for battery operation
Before using the device for the first time in the battery mode, the batteries must be charged. Connect the charger cable to the connector on the back of the stand base and
connect the charger to a power socket.
Replacing the batteries
Warning:
Always pull out the mains plug before replacing the batteries!
•
Remove the cover of the battery compartment from the base plate of the stand.
•
Remove the old batteries, insert the new batteries (type AA) in the correct direction and put the cover back on.
