surface.
4. Remove the plastic bag covering the microscope.
5. Remove the plastic caps from the eyepiece holders (17) on the binocular head.
6. Insert the two 10x eyepieces in the eyepiece holders (17). They are held in place by a friction fit.

10. Plug the small cable from the AC adapter into the socket on the back of the base (see Figure 1a).
11. Insert the plug end of the AC adapter into the proper power source. Make sure you have the correct AC
adapter – some models are 115-volt AC and other models are 230-volt AC
You are now ready to use your microscope!
Rotating the Head
The head of your microscope can be rotated 360°. Therefore you can view from any position by just moving the head
(1) to the desired location. Loosen the locking screw (10) located between the head (1) and the nosepiece (2) on the
arm (11). Then, rotate the head (1) to the desired viewing location and then tighten the locking screw (10).
