5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
Press and hold the Power Button to turn the microscope on or off.
5.2 Device Observation Mode
Hold the microscope over the object you wish to observe. The live view will appear on the 2-inch IPS screen.
5.3 Adjusting Focus and Magnification
Rotate the focus tube to achieve a clear image. The microscope offers a fixed ultra-macro focus with a maximum magnification of 1000X and 4x digital zoom. Adjust the distance between the microscope lens and the specimen to find the optimal focus point.
5.4 Adjusting LED Illumination
The microscope features 8 built-in LED lights. Press the Light Adjustment button to cycle through different brightness levels (e.g., 50%, 70%, 100%) to ensure proper illumination of your specimen, even in dark environments.
5.5 Capturing Photos and Videos
In observation mode, press the Photo Button to take a still picture. To record video, ensure a TF memory card is inserted. The built-in memory can store approximately 200 photos, but videos require a TF card.
5.6 Reviewing Media
Press the Playback Button to enter review mode. Use the Up/Down buttons to navigate through your captured photos and videos. Photos stored in the built-in memory can only be deleted, not downloaded directly from the device without a computer connection.
6. Connecting to a Computer
The microscope supports real-time imaging and data transfer when connected to a computer.
6.1 Computer Observation Mode
Connect the microscope to your computer using the provided Type-C data cable. Open the computer's built-in camera software (e.g., Camera app on Windows, Photo Booth on Mac). The microscope's display will appear on your computer screen, offering a larger and more intuitive viewing experience. In this mode, the physical buttons on the microscope are not active.
Supported Operating Systems:

6.2 Transferring Files
When connected to a computer, you can access the contents of the inserted TF memory card to transfer photos and videos. Files stored in the microscope's internal memory cannot be directly downloaded; they must be viewed on the device or deleted.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Lens and Screen
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lens and screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
7.2 Storage
Store the microscope in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it protected from dust and moisture when not in use.
7.3 Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | Low battery or device malfunction. | Charge the device for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try pressing the reset button with a thin pin. |
| Image is blurry. | Improper focus or dirty lens. | Rotate the focus tube until the image is clear. Clean the lens with a soft cloth. |
| Cannot record video. | No TF memory card inserted or card is full/corrupted. | Insert a compatible TF memory card. Check if the card has sufficient space or try formatting it (this will erase all data). |
| No image on computer screen. | Incorrect cable connection or software issue. | Ensure the Type-C cable is securely connected. Try a different USB port. Verify your computer's camera software is open and selected the correct input device. |
| Buttons not working in computer mode. | This is normal behavior. | When connected to a computer, control functions are typically managed through the computer's software. |
