Setup
Charging the Device

Powering On/Off
To turn the miniscope on or off, press and hold the power button located on the device's body for approximately 2-3 seconds.
Memory Card Installation (Optional)
To expand storage for more photos and enable video recording, insert a compatible memory card (MicroSD card, not included) into the designated slot on the side of the device. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
Operating Instructions
Focusing
To achieve a clear image, place the miniscope's lens close to the object you wish to observe. Slowly rotate the focus wheel, located on the lower part of the microscope body, until the image on the 2-inch screen appears sharp and clear.
Adjusting LED Lights
The miniscope is equipped with 8 adjustable LED lights to illuminate your subject. To adjust the brightness, long-press the "-" or "+" buttons on the device. You can cycle through three brightness levels: 10%, 50%, and 100%.
Magnification Adjustment
To change the magnification level, press the "+" and "-" buttons (short press) on the device. The miniscope supports magnification levels of 200X, 400X, 600X, and 1000X.
Capturing Photos and Videos
Press the dedicated Photo button to capture still images. The miniscope has built-in storage for approximately 200 photos. For video recording, an external memory card must be installed. Once installed, select the video mode and press the record button to start/stop recording.
Connecting to a Computer
The Acoath Digital Miniscope can be connected to a computer for a larger viewing experience and to manage captured files. Use the provided Type-C cable to connect the miniscope to your computer. It is compatible with Windows Vista/XP/7/8/10/11 and macOS X 11.0 or later. Once connected, the computer's built-in camera software can be used for real-time viewing, photo capture, video recording, and file storage.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the miniscope, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device. Ensure no moisture enters the device's ports or openings.
Storage
When not in use, store the Acoath Digital Miniscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Keep it protected from dust and physical impacts. Using the provided lanyard can help prevent accidental drops.
Troubleshooting
- Device does not turn on:
- Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it 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. If the issue persists, try a different charging cable or power adapter.
- Image is blurry or out of focus:
- Rotate the focus wheel slowly until the image on the screen becomes clear. Ensure the object being viewed is within the microscope's optimal focal range. Adjust the distance between the lens and the object if necessary.
- Cannot save photos or videos:
- Verify that a compatible memory card is correctly inserted into the slot. If a card is present, check if it is full or corrupted. Try formatting the card (if the device settings allow) or using a different memory card. Ensure the device is in the correct mode (photo or video) before attempting to capture.
- Screen is too dark or too bright:
- Adjust the LED light brightness by long-pressing the "-" or "+" buttons on the device. Cycle through the 10%, 50%, and 100% brightness levels to find the optimal setting for your viewing environment.
- Device not recognized by computer:
- Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the miniscope and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Verify that your computer's operating system (Windows Vista/XP/7/8/10/11 or macOS X 11.0 or later) is supported. Restart both the miniscope and the computer.
