OPERATION
USER GUIDE
OVERVIEW Turn on the power switch and place the subject beneath the viewing head. FOCUS The aim of the Universal Arm is that the height of the instrument is set to a comfortable viewing position and the subject is then lifted (normally by hand) into focus. Thus maintaining optimum ergonomics. To set the height of the instrument, ensure the friction clamp is loosened then move the viewing head up or down until the required viewing position is obtained and tighten the friction clamp. For the Track Stand adjust the focus by turning the focus knob on the side of the stand. Left handed or right handed operation. CHANGING LENSES To change the objective lens, twist and remove lens. Store the lens in the supplied container. Fit and lock the chosen objective lens into the objective seat.
