Care and maintenance
Never, under any circumstances, look directly at the Sun, another bright source of light or at a
laser through this device, as this may cause PERMANENT RETINAL DAMAGE and may lead to
BLINDNESS. Take necessary precautions when using the device with children or others who
have not read or who do not fully understand these instructions. After unpacking your
microscope and before using it for the first time check for integrity and durability of every
component and connection. Do not try to disassemble the device on your own for any reason.
For repairs and cleaning of any kind, please contact your local specialized service center.
Protect the device from sudden impact and excessive mechanical force. Do not apply
excessive pressure when adjusting focus. Do not overtighten the locking screws. Do not touch
the optical surfaces with your fingers. To clean the device exterior, use only special cleaning
wipes and special optics cleaning tools from Levenhuk. Do not use any corrosive or acetone-
based fluids to clean the optics. Abrasive particles, such as sand, should not be wiped off
lenses, but instead blown off or brushed away with a soft brush. Do not use the device for
lengthy periods of time, or leave it unattended in direct sunlight. Keep the device away from
water and high humidity. Be careful during your observations, always replace the dust cover
after you are finished with observations to protect the device from dust and stains. If you are
not using your microscope for extended periods of time, store the objective lenses and
eyepieces separately from the microscope. Store the device in a dry, cool place away from
hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from heaters, open fire and other sources of high
temperatures. When using the microscope, try not to use it near flammable materials or
substances (benzene, paper, cardboard, plastic, etc.), as the base may heat up during use, and
might become a fire hazard. Always unplug the microscope from a power source before
opening the base or changing the illumination lamp. Regardless of the lamp type (halogen or
incandescent), give it some time to cool down before trying to change it, and always change it
to a lamp of the same type. Always use the power supply with the proper voltage, i.e.
indicated in the specifications of your new microscope. Plugging the instrument into a
different power outlet may damage the electric circuitry of the microscope, burn out the lamp,
or even cause a short circuit. Children should use the device under adult supervision only.
Seek medical advice immediately if a small part or a battery is swallowed.
Battery safety instructions
Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use.
Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time; taking care not to mix old and new
ones, or batteries of different types. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device
prior to battery installation. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to
polarity (+ and -). Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended
period of time. Remove used batteries promptly. Never attempt to recharge primary batteries
as this may cause leakage, fire, or explosion. Never short-circuit batteries as this may lead to
high temperatures, leakage, or explosion. Never heat batteries in order to revive them.
Remember to switch off devices after use. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, to avoid
risk of ingestion, suffocation, or poisoning.
