i. Caution

1. Find the “UP” sign and place the Styrofoam container on your table or bench so
that the arrow is pointing upward. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent
any accessory items (i.e. objectives or eyepieces) from dropping and being
damaged.

2. Do not discard the molded Styrofoam container. The container should be retained
should the microscope ever requires reshipment.

3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty
environments. Ensure that the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm
surface.

4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any
other component, disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage.
Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.

5. Important: the lamp, lamp housing and adjacent parts will become very hot. Do
not touch these parts until they have completely cooled. Never attempt to handle a
hot halogen bulb.

6. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge
suppressor to prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.

7. For safety when replacing the halogen lamp or fuse, be sure the main switch is off,
unplug the power cord, and only replace the halogen bulb after the bulb and the
lamp house has completely cooled.

8. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your
line voltage. The use of a different input voltage other than that as indicated will
cause severe damage to the microscope.

ii. Care and Maintenance

1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or
focusing assembly.

2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on
metal surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be
removed using a mild soap solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.

3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using

an air stream from an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth
or cotton swab dampened with a lens cleaning solution (available at camera
stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using a circular motion. A small
amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick makes a useful
tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an excessive amount of
solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics or
the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil
immersion objectives should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil
with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.

Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the

dust cover when not in use.
