5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Aven Cyclops HDMI Digital Microscope.

• Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to gently wipe the objective lens. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Cleaning Unit: Wipe the main unit and stand with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider covering the unit to prevent dust accumulation.
• Handling: Always handle the microscope with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts.

  • Check that the monitor's input source is set to the correct HDMI port.
• Blurry Image:
  • Adjust the height of the microscope unit on the stand to bring the object into approximate focus.
  • Use the focus controls on the IR remote to fine-tune the image sharpness.
  • Ensure the objective lens is clean and free of dust or smudges.
• LED Lights Not Working:
  • Check if the microscope unit is powered on.
