ENGLISH 1

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Celestron FlipView™ Handheld LCD Digital Microscope with a 5 MP sensor and ﬂ ip out 3.0inch full color TFT LCD screen. Your microscope is a precision optical instrument, made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and long life. It is designed to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.

FlipView provides low power viewing up to 120x using the built-in LCD screen. For additional magniﬁ cation (up to 300x), connect the microscope to your PC. (Magniﬁ cation depends on monitor size.)

FlipView is a low magniﬁ cation microscope, mainly suited for examining specimens like coins, stamps, rocks, electronics, insects, and other 3D objects. Specimens on slides can be viewed with top illumination, but this microscope is not ideal for this purpose. For high power viewing of slide specimens, see our full line of microscopes at Celestron.com.

FlipView does not use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope. Instead, the built-in camera sensor “sees” the specimen and the image is then displayed on the high-resolution color LCD screen. This makes

IN THE BOX

viewing fun, reduces neck and eyestrain, and allows for easy sharing with others. You can also view on external monitors, projectors and TV screens with the included AV out cable.

Saving, transferring and sharing your image files is quick and easy with FlipView. Save to your Micro SD card for transferring later, or use the included USB cable to directly connect to your computer.

Before attempting to use your microscope, please read through the instructions and reference the diagrams below. Take some time to read the simple care, maintenance, and troubleshooting tips in this manual to ensure that your FlipView microscope provides you with years of quality performance.

2. SETUP

INSTALL BATTERY

Open the battery compartment (8) and insert the battery, making sure to align the connection points correctly.

NOTE: FlipView’s battery ships with a partial charge. However, if you are going to use the

microscope with the battery only, be sure to charge the battery fully before the ﬁrst use.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

• Plug the small end of the power adapter into the 5 V/AC in port (10) on the back of the microscope. Plug the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.

* The battery charge indicator LED (14) will light up red to show

the battery is charging.

* When battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator

LED will turn off. You can now unplug FlipView and use it without an external power source for up to 2 hours.

* You can monitor the battery power level on the LCD screen.

11. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your microscope with digital camera is a precision optical instrument and should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.

Store your microscope in a dry, clean place.

Never use your microscope where operation of such

devices is restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.

Do not try to access the internal components of your

microscope or attempt to modify it in any way. Only authorized technicians should perform maintenance or repairs.

Keep your microscope away from water and other liquids.

Never use it in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of ﬁre and electric shock.

To clean dust or smudges from the LCD screen or other

optical component, ﬁrst blow the dust off with a camel’s hair brush or air blower. Then use the included dry, microﬁber cloth to wipe the surface.

If the exterior surfaces of your microscope need cleaning,

wipe with a moist cloth.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEMS SOLUTION

The unit does not turn on. Check the battery power. If necessary, recharge by plugging into AC power.

The screen is blank.

1. INTRODUCTION

Merci d'avoir acheté le microscope numérique LCD portable Celestron FlipView™ équipé d'un capteur 5 Mp et écran LCD TFT pleines couleurs 3" déployable. Votre microscope est un instrument optique de précision, fabriqué avec des matériaux de la plus grande qualité aﬁ n de garantir sa durabilité et qu'il vous accompagnera pendant de longues années. Il est conçu pour permettre un grand confort d'utilisation avec un minimum d'entretien.

Le FlipView permet une observation basse puissance maximum de x120 à l'aide de l'écran LCD intégré. Pour obtenir un agrandissement plus puissant (jusqu'à x300), connectez le microscope à votre PC. (L'agrandissement est limité par la taille de l'écran).

Le FlipView est un microscope à faible agrandissement, adapté à l'observation de spécimens tels que des pièces, des timbres, des minéraux, des composants électroniques, des insectes et autres objets en 3D. Les spécimens contenus sur des lames peuvent être observés, mais ce microscope n'est pas adapté pour ce type de spécimen. Pour observer des spécimens sur lames, consultez notre gamme complète de microscopes adaptés à ce type d'observation sur Celestron.com.

Le FlipView ne comporte pas d'oculaire comme un microscope traditionnel. Au lieu de cela, le capteur intégré de la caméra "voit" le spécimen et l'image est ensuite afﬁ chée sur l'écran LCD couleurs haute résolution. Cela

DANS LA BOÎTE

rend l'observation amusante, limite la fatigue des yeux et du cou et permet de partager les images plus aisément. Vous pouvez également afﬁ cher l'image sur des écrans externes, des écrans TV ou via des projecteurs externes à l'aide du câble AV livré.

L'enregistrement, le transfert et le partage des ﬁ chiers image est d'une grande simplicité avec FlipView. Enregistrez les ﬁ chiers sur votre carte Micro SD pour les transférer ultérieurement, ou utilisez le câble USB fourni pour raccorder le microscope directement à votre PC.

Avant d'utiliser votre microscope pour la première fois, lisez ces instructions et les schémas d'illustration cidessous dans leur totalité. Prenez le temps de lire les conseils simples d'entretien et de maintenance présentés dans ce manuel pour garantir la plus longue durée de fonctionnement et les meilleures performances possibles pour votre microscope FlipView.
