Warning!
Only suitable for children at least 8 years of age. Instructions for the parents or other persons in charge are enclosed and must
be followed. Keep the packaging, since it contains important information. Not suitable for children under 3 years of age due
to small parts that can be swallowed.
Three 1.5 volt AA batteries (LR6), which cannot be included in the kit due to their limited shelf life, are required for the experi-
ments.
Tips on Protecting the Environment
Depending on where you live, you may be required to dispose of the electrical and electronic components in this kit at a col-
lection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic devices, and not in the household trash. Through re-use, recycling
of materials, and other forms of utilization of old devices, you are making an important contribution to the protection of our
environment. Please inquire with your local government about the appropriate disposal site.
Safety Tips
Read the instructions before beginning to experiment, follow them and keep them nearby for reference.
Keep the experiment kit out of the reach of small children and animals.
Do not use any devices other than those that were provided with the experiment kit, unless specifically called for in this
manual.
Do not use any power supply other than that indicated.
Advice for Supervising Adults
Before beginning with the experiments, please discuss the warnings and safety rules with the child and accompany them dur-
ing the experiments to advise them and lend them a hand. An adult should verify before getting started that the batteries are
properly inserted.
Battery Warnings
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries! They could explode!
To change the 1.5 volt batteries: Remove all of the batteries from the battery compartment. Then insert the new batteries.
Insert the batteries with the correct polarity!
Never use different battery types, or new and used batteries, together!
Remove depleted batteries from the microscope.
Do not dispose of used batteries in the household trash, but rather in accordance with national environmental regulations.
Never short-circuit the terminals of the battery or of the battery holder. A short-circuit can lead to the overheating of wires or
to the exploding of the batteries.
Make absolutely sure that no batteries are placed together, for example, with coins, a key chain, or other metallic objects.
Do not throw batteries into fire!
Avoid deformation of the batteries.
Caution!
Certain parts of this kit have pointed or sharp corners or edges related to their functions. There is danger of injury! This is
especially true of the scalpel, the dissecting needle, and the glass components.
The right to technical changes is reserved.
