4. Plug the small cable from the AC adapter into the socket on the back of the base (see Figure 2 above).
5. Insert the plug end of the AC adapter into the proper power source.
Note: The AC Adapter supplied with this microscope has an interchangeable plug system that can work in the USA, UK,
Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world. The plug for the USA will be installed in the AC Adapter.
You can easily change plugs for your particular requirement by doing the following:
A. Push down on the small button labeled "PUSH" and hold it down while at the same time hold the prongs of the
plug and rotate it slightly counterclockwise and pull up to remove it. Then remove your finger from holding the
"PUSH" button down.
B. Take the plug style that you want to use and center it over the AC Adapter and rotate it until it falls down into the
opening. Then rotate it clockwise until you hear a click sound which lets you know the plug is now installed
correctly.
Before looking at specimens you must turn the LCD on, turn on the proper illumination, and understand how to use the
mechanical stage and then you are ready to begin viewing.

LCD Module
This digital microscope is different than traditional microscopes --- instead of using eyepieces to look at a specimen in a
traditional microscope, the LCD monitor replaces the eyepieces so you can look at the specimen on the screen by
yourself or share the views with others. To begin to view specimens with your microscope, you will have to turn the
LCD monitor on by turning the Power Button "On" (see Figure 3). Push and hold the button down until the green LED
comes on indicating the LCD monitor is "On." That is basically all you need to do to use the LCD screen for viewing
specimens. The various keys on the LCD Module are mainly used for taking images (snapshots and video) and will be
discussed later in this manual.
