2. You may find it easier to guide the globe into the correct
position from below. Supporting your forearms, take the
globe sphere in both hands. Hold the globe sphere (North
Pole upwards, lettering legible) approx. 2-3 cm vertically
below the upper magnetic head (see Fig. 5). Now slowly
guide the globe in an upwards direction, millimetre by
millimetre towards the magnetic head. At a distance of
approx. 10 mm, you will feel the globe sphere jolt gently.
Fig.5
At this distance, the electronic system starts to guide the
globe sphere by electromagnetic fields. Hold the globe
sphere at this height and let it go slowly and carefully to
prevent the globe sphere from oscillating. The globe sphere
should now levitate freely within the magnetic field (see Fig.
4).
Before unplugging the device, we recommend that you
allow the globe sphere to fix directly on the upper magnetic
head (see Fig. 3). Otherwise, it will fall when unplugged or
the power supply is interrupted. In the event that the sphere
does fall, the globe's South Pole contains a further perma-
nent magnet, which then safely fixes the globe sphere to
the lower part of the frame. This prevents the globe ball
from rolling off the table etc.
