Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the device's screen and lens. For stubborn smudges, a slightly dampened cloth with water can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive materials, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the magnifier in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and damage.
• Battery Care: To prolong the life of the rechargeable battery, avoid fully discharging it frequently. Recharge the device regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period (e.g., once every 3 months).
• Handling: Handle the device with care to prevent drops or impacts, which could damage internal components, the screen, or the lens.

Troubleshooting

• Device will not power on: Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the device to a power source using the USB Type-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Screen is blank or distorted: Check the battery level. If the issue persists after charging, try resetting the device using the reset button (a small pinhole, typically requiring a thin pin to press).
• Images are blurry: Ensure the lens is clean and free of dust or smudges. Adjust the distance between the lens and the object to achieve optimal focus. The device has a fixed focal point, so precise positioning is key.
• UV light is not effective for banknote authentication: Verify that the UV light mode is activated. Note that the effectiveness can vary depending on the specific security features of the banknote and ambient lighting conditions.
• Cannot connect to computer: Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the magnifier and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. Verify that the computer's operating system recognizes the device (it may appear as a removable disk or camera).
