CAUTION - Avoiding personal injury

Tripping hazard

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

can cause injuries to people and damage to equipment. Wherever

possible, lay cables along the wall or behind furniture. Fix and label

cables that run across the room.

ATTENTION - Avoiding device damage

Never open the camera

The camera's CMOS chip is extremely sensitive. Electrostatic

discharge can permanently damage the camera. Therefore, never

open the camera housing.

Use only the supplied USB camera cable

Operate the camera only with the supplied USB camera cable. Only

then will the functionality of 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 extremely sensitive 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.
