Please refer to fig. 1 (device), 2 (LCD screen), 3 (control panel), and 4 (accessories). Find your
microscope model and view all of the details of the device.

Getting started

• Unpack the microscope carefully and place it on a flat surface.
• Use the supplied hardware to secure the pole and specimen holders to the base
using the supplied hardware.
• Install the LCD screen on the pole and tighten the locking screw.
• Plug the power cable into the corresponding connectors on the base and on the
LCD screen, and then the backlight and screen will turn on automatically.
• Press and hold the "Power on/off" button for 2 seconds on the screen to turn the
screen on and off.
A microSD card (purchased separately) is required to save captured images and recorded
videos. Turn the microscope off and insert the microSD card into the corresponding slot
on the microscope body until it locks in place with a click. Do not apply excessive force
when inserting the microSD card. Try rotating the card, if it does not lock in place with
ease.
If the LCD screen freezes, look for the "Reset" button on the back of the LCD screen. Use
a narrow object, such as a straightened paperclip, to press the button. This will reset all
of the settings to the factory defaults and restart the LCD screen. Saved photos or videos
will not be deleted.
UV filter
Use a 3M sticker to stick the UV filter and lens cover together. The threaded side of the
filter must be glued to the lens cover.

versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the U.S.
and Canada is 110V and 220–240V in most European countries.
