1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from
dropping and being damaged.
2. Do not discard the molded Styrofoam container; the container should be retained should the
microscope ever requires 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
be damaged.
5. CAUTION: the lamp, lamp housing and adjacent parts will become very hot. Do not touch these
parts until they have completely cooled. Never attempt to handle a hot halogen bulb.
6. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor to
prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.
7. For safety when replacing the halogen lamp or fuse, be sure the main switch is off ("O"), remove
the power cord, and replace the halogen bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely
cooled.
8. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The
use of a different input voltage than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.
