Do not discard the molded Styrofoam container; the container should be retained should themicroscope ever require reshipment.3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.Ensure the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm surface.4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component,disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may bedamaged.5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor toprevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.6. For safety when replacing the LED bulb or fuse, be sure the main switch is off (“O”), remove thepower cord, and replace the LED bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely cooled.7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. Theuse of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.CARE AND MAINTENANCE1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfacesshould be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soapsolution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream froman air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with alens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using acircular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick such ascotton swabs or Q-tips, makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using anexcessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented opticsor the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil immersion objectivesshould be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when notin use.5.
