Quick Start
1. Connect the microscope main device to the power supply with the power cable. (See Figure 7)
2. The microscope will turn on automatically when power is applied. Do not repeatedly press the ‘power key
(Figure-5 / ①) or the ‘ON’ key on the switch cable. If the microscope does not turn on after power is applied,
press the power button again to turn it on.
Adjust Magnification & Focus
①Use the large knobs on the optical bracket to raise or lower the optical stack to the desired height. The lower
the height, the greater the magnification is. But be careful not to let the bottom of the stack contact the object
being imaged. (Note that you may need to repose the spotlights as you move the stack up or down.)Turn the
Focus controller( ⑧from the Figure 5) to focus the image.
②To increase the digital magnification, press and hold the Up button (③from the Figure 5 ) until the desired
digital magnification(up to an additional 3x beyond the optical magnification) is reached. Use the Down (number
④from Figure 5) button to decrease the digital magnification.
Using a Micro SD Card to Save Images
By using a micro-SD card, you can record videos and take photos and save them for later importing to your
computer or other devices for viewing and use. There is a TF card slot on the top of the back of the microscope,
just insert the micro-SD card into the slot.
Note:
1. TF card does not come with the microscope, please purchase your own, class 10 high-speed TF card is
recommended.
2. Note the card insertion direction, with the TF card chip facing downward, please refer to Figure 7.
3. Push it into the slot until it clicks, if the card is not in place, the card will be ejected.
If the display shows "Memory Card Full" or "Memory Card Error" after card insertion or when taking pictures and
videos, please format the memory card first.
Formatting steps are as follows: Press and hold the ‘M key’ - Short press the ‘M’ key - ‘V’(down) key -
Select the "Format" option - ‘OK’ key to confirm.
*If a TF card is inserted while the microscope is operating, the unit will automatically shut down. In this case,
press and hold the power switch button until the screen lights up again.
The MODE button (Figure 5/②, labeled "M") can be used to switch between three modes: Video Standby ( ),
Photo Mode ( ) and Playback Mode ( ). In video standby mode, the white number to the right of the icon
indicates the remaining memory of the memory card available for video recording.

stop recording, press the "OK" key briefly again.
The "OK" key on the remote control has the
same function.
Take photos
In video standby ( ), photo mode ( ), or during
video recording, press the "capture" key ( ) to
take the desired image.
The "capture" button on the remote control has the
same function.
Note: You can’t take pictures or videos in Preview mode

Reviewing and Managing Images
To review and manage images on the display, use the Mode button to select review
mode. Use the Up and Down buttons to cycle through the pictures and videos.
To play a video, press the OK button to start play. Press the OK button again to pause. Press Mode button to
stop playing the current video.
Hit the Mode button again to exit playback mode.
Setting
In each mode, press the M button and hold it for a while until the Video/Still/Playback Menu shows up on the
display(Or you can press MENU button on the remote). Hit M button again, get into the general Setup Menu.
For example, if you are in Video standby mode, and you press MENU, this is the first menu would show, the
“Video menu”:
（
Figure 8: video menu
）
Then, press MENU button (or M on the monitor) again, you get into the Setup menu, like this:
（

Gridlines Setup
Use “Up” and “Down” to select among “cross line”、“line”、“direction”、“position”、“color”and “width”. Use “Left”
and “Right” on the remote to change the settings. Without remote can not change any of the settings of
gridlines.
Cross line means 十shaped lines that located literally in the middle of the view. when you set the cross line
“on”, you will see one horizontal and one vertical showing in the middle of the view.
（ Figure 10: gridlines setup menu ） （ Figure 11: cross line ： on ）
When you turn on the “Line”, there will be 8 lines showing up automatically. For each one, you could change it’s
direction between “HOR” and “VER”(stand for “horizontal” and “vertical”), position, color and width.
There are 480 positions on direction “HOR”, and 800 positions on direction “VER”. So, when you change the
direction from “HOR” to “VER”, the position would change at the same time, HOR/VER=480/800. For example,
you change a line from HOR&160(Figure12) to a vertical line, the position would become 266(Figure13).
（

，
HOR&160
） （
Figure13: line1
，

）
If you don’t want that many lines in the view, you could also change the color of the certain lines into
“TRANSPARENT”.

）
Date/time setup
Press “OK” into Date/time setting. Use “Up” and “Down” to select the correct number for year/month/day. Once
you finish setting a number, press “OK” on the monitor to the next number. Or, you can use “Left” and “Right” on
the remote to get to the one that you want.
Press “MENU” button on the remote to exit date/time setting directly. If you don’t have the remote, you have to
go through all over these settings one by one and then press OK again to exit.
（
Figure15: date/time setup
）
Save Setting
After you set everything right, you should turn off the device by pressing ON/OFF button on the monitor and

11
hold it until the device switching off.
If you turn off the device by pressing the button on the switch cable, or just simply cut off the power supply, the
setting would not be saved.
Three ways of output
◆HDMI output
•First, make sure that the monitor to which the microscope is connected is a high definition monitor, otherwise
the image will not be able to achieve 1080p.
•Then, power on the microscope and connect it to the HD monitor. The microscope does not have a built-in
battery, so make sure the microscope is always powered on when in use.
•Third, turn on the microscope, place the object on the base and adjust the focus and object distance.
•When the microscope is connected to another display device, the video signal will be switched to that device.
Therefore, when you use the HDMI output, it is normal that there is no image on the microscope's own screen.
•In HDMI mode, you can take pictures, but not video.
◆USB output

FAQ
1. Why there says “missing files” during installation or initiator procedure?
Please confirm that in the system there are Microsoft. Net Framework 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Runtimes.
2. The software works fine, but the software can not recognize the microscope.
First, please make sure that you connect the camera and the PC properly and choose “PC camera” on
the 5 inch monitor. Second, if there is still no image, please check the “Device Manager” of your PC,
delete the “USB Camera” in the “Imaging devices” and rescan . Let the system identifies again. After all,
in the “Imaging devices” there will show another name, which is “Andonstar Camera”. Then restart the
software.
3.Why there is a measurement error?
First, if you want to get a more precise result, you need to use a more precise calibration. Second, during
the whole process, make sure the magnification is always the same as the one when you set the
calibration. Since the camera is continuously magnifying, you’d better keep the same object distance
also.
4.The software is in Chinese?
Software download link: https://rb.gy/dmapd0 , https://bit.ly/33JvL7k
Our software basically has two languages: Chinese and English, when the computers systems are not in
Chinese, the software should be in English automatically, but somehow, it didn't happen that way
sometimes. From customers feedback, we noticed that many users have the issue with the language
changing. Sorry for the inconvenience.

17
The easiest solution: click the third button from left on the menu, there will show "chinese, chinese,
english" and then choose "english". See the picture in below.
