5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Changing Magnification

The headband magnifier offers a wide range of magnification levels by combining its lenses:

  • You can use a single main lens (1X, 1.5X, 2X, 2.5X, 3.5X).
  • Combine two main lenses for increased magnification (e.g., 1X + 1.5X = 2.5X).
  • Utilize the 8X auxiliary lens in conjunction with main lenses for even higher magnification (e.g., 1X + 8X = 9X).
  • A total of 23 magnification combinations are possible, ranging from 1X to 14X.
