Tripping hazard

Cables laid across a room can be a dangerous tripping hazard. This

cancause injuries to people and damage to equipment. Wherever

possible, laycables along the wallor behind furniture. Fix and label

cables that run across the room.

ATTENTION - Avoiding device damage

then will the functionalityof the camera and compliance with the EMC

basic standards be ensured.

Don't touch the protective glass

The protective glass over the CMOS chip is extremelysensitive and

must not come into contact with bare hands or any other objects,

otherwise the acquired images will be impaired by fingerprints or

scratches.

Avoid vibration shocks

Mechanical shocks and strong vibrations can damage the camera.

Don't drop the camera during assembly. Make sure the camera is

securely mounted on the microscope. When the camera is not in use,

store it in a safe place.
