1. Hold the magnifier by its ergonomic handle.

2. Hands-Free Use with Mobase Stand

The Mobase Stand offers two positions for hands-free operation:

1. Upright Position: Insert the magnifier into the stand so the lens is vertical. This position is ideal for tasks requiring both hands, such as threading a needle or filing nails.
2. Flat Position: Insert the magnifier into the stand so the lens is angled slightly, allowing the stand to slide over reading material. This position is suitable for reading documents, books, or newspapers.

In both positions, activate the LED illumination using the ON/OFF switch on the magnifier's handle.

Three snap-on filters are included to adjust the light temperature for different viewing conditions and personal preferences. To use, gently snap the desired filter onto the LED light source of the magnifier.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Lens

To ensure optimal clarity, keep the lens clean. Use the provided Liberty Microfiber Cloth to gently wipe the lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens coating.
