5. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens: To clean the magnifier lens, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the lens.
- Cleaning the Body: Wipe the body of the magnifier and stand/clip with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse any part of the unit in water.
- Battery Replacement: When the LED light begins to dim, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section. Always replace all four LR1130 batteries at the same time. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED light does not turn on. | Batteries are depleted or incorrectly installed. | Check if the LR1130 batteries are correctly installed with the proper polarity. Replace all four batteries if they are depleted. |
