The Leica CTR5500 or CTR6000 Electronics Box,
the remote control element SmartMove, the
external ebq 100 supply unit* and the external
EL6000 compact light source* are delivered in
separate packaging.
First, carefully remove all components from the
transportation and packaging materials.
Note:
If at all possible, avoid touching the lens sur-
faces of the objectives. If fingerprints do appear
on the glass surfaces, remove them with a soft
leather or linen cloth. Even small traces of finger
perspiration can damage the surfaces in a short
time. See the chapter, "Care of the Microscope"
→ p. 85, for additional instructions.

ripherals to the power supply at this point!
