any or all locked images, turn the LCD screen off and none of the images will be protected.

Transferring Your Images

To transfer images to a PC, you need to have a free USB port and have an imaging program(s) for snapshots and videos.
Note: Do Not disconnect the USB cable while transferring images or damage may occur.
1. You can transfer images from the internal storage memory to your PC by using the supplied Mini USB Cable. The small plug
end of the cable plugs into the LCD Monitor (Figure 1) and the large plug end of the cable plugs into your PC. Your PC will
automatically recognize the new hardware. Then, you will be asked to choose which program on your PC you want to transfer
the images to – you may have to choose a different program for snapshot images and another program for video images
depending on what software programs are installed on your computer.
2. If you used an SD card to store your images, you can transfer them to your PC using the method in # 1 above or you can take
the SD card out and use the SD card slot on your PC to transfer the images. Using either way your PC will ask you to choose
which program you want to transfer the images to.
Your Celestron microscope is a precision optical instrument and should be treated with care at all times. Follow these care and
maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.

When moving your microscope, carry it with both hands (if possible) by the base or the round body.

Clean the outside surfaces with a moist cloth.

Always unplug any cords before cleaning.

Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch optical surfaces easily.

Blow off dust with a camel's hair brush or an air blower from optical surfaces.
