Operating Instructions

1. Using the Dual Lenses

The SF-Magnifier features two distinct lenses for different magnification needs:

• 30x Primary Lens (22mm diameter): For general observation and a wider field of view.
• 60x Supplementary Lens (12mm diameter): For extremely fine details and higher magnification.

To achieve a clear image, hold the magnifier close to the object you wish to observe. Adjust the distance slightly until the image comes into sharp focus. The closer the lens is to the object, the clearer the magnified view will be.

2. Activating LED Lights

The magnifier is equipped with two bright LED lights, one for each lens, to illuminate your viewing area. A dual switch allows you to activate the lights independently.

1. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the magnifier.
2. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the LED lights.
3. Slide the switch to the 'OFF' position when illumination is no longer needed to conserve battery life.

The magnifier features a 360° folding angle, allowing it to be compactly stored when not in use. Simply fold the lens housing into the main body to protect the lenses and reduce its size for easy carrying in a pocket or bag.

Maintenance

• Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to clean the magnifier lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting
