4. Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the microscope unit to turn it on or off.
2. Focusing: Use the focusing knob on the microscope stand to achieve a clear image of your specimen. The 12-megapixel camera provides ultra-precise focusing.
3. Magnification Adjustment: Adjust the distance between the lens and the specimen, along with the digital zoom, to achieve magnification levels from 50X to 1200X.
4. Adjusting LED Lights: The 10 built-in LEDs and 2 flexible side lights can be adjusted for brightness and angle to eliminate shadows and provide optimal viewing conditions.
5. Capturing Photos/Videos: Use the wired remote control to easily snap images or record videos. Press the menu button on the remote for 3 seconds to switch between "Photographing", "Video Recording", and "Playback" modes.
6. Screen Rotation: The 7-inch LCD screen can be rotated up to 90 degrees to adjust the viewing angle for improved ergonomics and comfort.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and lens. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the lens).
• Battery Care: The microscope uses a replaceable and rechargeable 18650 lithium battery. Ensure regular charging to maintain battery health. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect the lens from dust and scratches.
• Durability: The solid aluminum alloy construction provides a sturdy and durable frame. Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to a power source and the microscope. Check if the battery is charged. If using battery, try connecting to power directly.
• Blurry Image: Adjust the focusing knob carefully. Ensure the specimen is properly illuminated and the lens is clean. Adjust the working distance between the lens and the specimen.
• SD Card Not Recognized: Ensure the SD card is inserted correctly. Try reinserting it or using a different compatible Micro SD card. Format the SD card if necessary (this will erase all data).
• No Image on PC: Verify the USB connection. Ensure the correct driver or software is installed on your computer (if required, though often it's plug-and-play as a webcam). Check your computer's camera settings.
• Wired Remote Not Responding: Ensure the remote is securely plugged into the microscope. Check for any physical damage to the cable or remote.

8. User Tips

• Electronics Inspection: When examining circuit boards or small electronic components, utilize the adjustable LED lights to minimize glare and ensure even illumination. The wired remote is particularly useful for capturing images or videos without disturbing the specimen.
• Coin and Specimen Observation: For detailed observation of coins, stamps, or biological specimens, experiment with different magnification levels and lighting angles to bring out intricate details. The 90-degree rotatable screen allows for comfortable viewing during prolonged sessions.
• Outdoor Use: The built-in rechargeable battery and compact design make the DM9 suitable for outdoor exploration. Consider using a power bank for extended use in the field.
• PC Viewing: Connecting to a PC offers a larger display, which is beneficial for collaborative viewing, detailed analysis, or presenting findings.
