7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Andonstar AD407 Pro Digital Microscope, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the 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.
• Cleaning the Screen: Wipe the screen gently with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• General Cleaning: Keep the microscope unit, stand, and base free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove particles from crevices.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• UV Filter: Regularly check the UV filter for any damage or excessive residue, especially after soldering. Replace if necessary to maintain lens protection and image clarity.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Andonstar AD407 Pro, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Power: Ensure the power plug is securely connected to both the microscope and the electrical outlet. Check if the power adapter is functioning correctly.
• No Image on Screen: Verify that the microscope unit is properly connected to the stand. Check focus and illumination settings. If using HDMI output, ensure the cable is connected correctly and the external display is set to the correct input.
• Blurry Image: Adjust the focus knob carefully. Ensure the object is within the working distance range of the microscope. Clean the lens and UV filter if smudges are present.
• Remote Control Not Responding: Check the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the microscope's IR receiver.
• Image Glare/Reflection: Adjust the angle and brightness of the LED lights. Ensure the UV filter is clean and properly installed.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Andonstar customer support for further assistance.
