- The following environment is required: Indoor temperature: 0-40°C, Maximum relative humi
dity: 85 % (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.

burnt, wait until the lamp has cooled down.
- Remove the lamp housing by pulling it out of the back of the microscope.
- 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.
