4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
Press and hold the 'POWER' button on the microscope unit or remote controller to turn the device on or off.
4.2 Adjusting Magnification and Focus
The microscope offers a magnification range from 2X to 2000X. Rotate the focus knob on the microscope unit to achieve a clear image. Adjust the height of the microscope head on the stand for broader or closer views. The 3.5-inch fine-tuning stand can be used for micro-adjustments.

4.6 Thumbnail and Locate Function
When using digital magnification, the thumbnail feature provides a smaller overview of the entire specimen, with a highlighted box indicating the currently zoomed area. This helps in precisely navigating and identifying specific regions for detailed exploration.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the lens).
- Screen: Wipe the 10.1" IPS screen with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Body: Clean the microscope body and stand with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
5.2 Storage
When not in use, store the microscope in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment. It is recommended to cover the lens with its protective cap to prevent dust accumulation.
5.3 Battery Care
The microscope includes a battery. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% and recharge every few months.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Microscope does not power on | No power, discharged battery, faulty adapter/cable | Ensure power adapter is connected and working. Charge the battery. Try a different USB cable or power source. |
| Image is blurry or out of focus | Incorrect focus, improper working distance, dirty lens | Adjust the focus knob. Adjust the height of the microscope head. Clean the lens. |
| No image on external HDMI display | Loose HDMI cable, incorrect input selected on display | Check HDMI cable connections. Ensure the external display is set to the correct HDMI input. |
| Cannot save images/videos | No SD card, full SD card, corrupted SD card | Insert a 64GB Micro SD card. Delete unnecessary files or format the SD card (this will erase all data). |
