ECO Power-Saving Function

The ECO function should be used for short-time microscope use. This will save energy and extend the
service life of the transmitted light illumination (halogen lamp).
Activating the Power-Saving Function
Put the permanent/ECO (Fig. 2-8/15) switch into the ECO position.
•
The illumination will automatically shut off after approximately 15 minutes of operation and go into the
stand-by mode.
• You can terminate the power-saving function by pressing the On/off control button (Fig. 2-8/13), so
that the illumination gets switched on again.
If the On/off control button is actuated during the operation of the microscope, the power-saving
•
function will be activated immediately, with the illumination turned off. Pressing the On/off button
once more will switch the illumination on again.
Deactivating the Power-Saving Function (Normal Operating Mode)
Put the permanent/ECO switch into the permanent position.
•
The illumination will stay switched on permanently. You can turn the illumination on and off by pressing
the On/off control button.
