9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power, faulty cable, or power adapter. | Check power connection. Ensure power adapter is working. Try a different Type-C cable. |
| No image on external monitor. | Incorrect cable connection, monitor input not selected, or resolution mismatch. | Verify HDMI/USB cable connection. Select correct input source on monitor. Ensure monitor supports 1080P@60FPS (HDMI) or 720P@60FPS (USB). |
| Multimeter readings are inaccurate or "OL" is displayed. | Probes not making good contact, incorrect mode selected, or component is out of range. | Ensure probes are firmly connected and making good contact. Select the appropriate measurement mode. Check if the component value exceeds the device's measurement range. |
| Remote control not working. | Dead batteries, obstructed IR path, or remote not paired (if applicable). | Replace remote control batteries. Ensure no obstructions between remote and device's IR receiver. |
| Cannot save photos/videos. | No TF card inserted, TF card full, or TF card error. | Insert a TF card. Check available space on the TF card. Format the TF card (note: this will erase all data). Ensure the TF card is not write-protected. |
10. User Tips
- For the clearest image, ensure adequate lighting on the object being viewed under the microscope.
- When performing delicate measurements, use a stable stand for the multimeter probes to prevent accidental short circuits or damage.
- Regularly back up important photos and videos from the TF card to prevent data loss.
- Experiment with different digital zoom levels to find the optimal magnification for your specific task.
- Utilize the remote control for hands-free operation, especially when precise adjustments are needed to avoid disturbing the setup.
