To ensure correct usage, read this manual and the instruction manual specific
to the microscope being utilized.
We are constantly endeavouring to improve our instruments and to adapt them to the
requirements of modern research techniques and testing methods. This involves
modification to the mechanical structure and optical design of our instruments.
Therefore, all descriptions and illustrations in this instruction manual, including all
specifications are subject to change without notice.

Rechargeable Batteries - Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)
No memory effect! - NiMH's do not develop a 'memory' like NiCad rechargeable
batteries. The memory effect occurs when a rechargeable battery is recharged before it is
fully depleted. Over time, the battery will have to be re-charged much sooner than before.

16
Install new batteries according to the specific instructions and warnings provided.
Remove the battery cover by partially unscrewing the knurled thumb screws
with a coin or screwdriver.
Motic instructions for replacing the new batteries may be slightly different than the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the batteries. When in doubt, contact
your local Motic representative for assistance.
For the first time the battery is charged, charge overnight or for a minimum of 10
hours. The viewing head can be used during the charging process.
Do not remove the viewing head from AC Power until the first charge is complete.
This is critical to the overall life of your battery.
CAUTION: All batteries can explode causing injury if shorted or mishandled. Take
precautions to protect yourself when installing. Always charge batteries with a charger
designed for your battery size. Always consult the manufacturer of your equipment for
proper installation, handling, safety, and charging instructions.
When in doubt, seek the help of a professional technician for installation and charging.

17
III. Observation
The sub-head observer will view the same image as the main observer if the main
observer has adjusted the diopter settings according to the microscope instruction
manual.
Diopter adjustment
Project the arrow into the field of view.
The main observer should set the diopter adjustment rings for both the left and right
eye to bring the arrow into focus.
After the main observer has brought the arrow into focus, the secondary observer
should bring the image of the arrow into focus.
This completes the diopter setting.
Selecting the Pointer Colour
Using the pointer colour switch, select a colour which is visibly distinguishable from
the specimen colour.

18
IV. Troubleshooting
The field of view of the sub-
observation head is cut off. 
Adjust the height of the support
stand so that the main head and the
sub-observation head are horizontal
when attached.
Specimen and arrow are not
simultaneously focused. Adjust the diopter settings refer to Diopter
adjustment.
The arrow is not visible when
pointer is used. The pointer colour switch is in
intermediate position.
The arrow is not visible when
pointer is used. Allow the battery to charge
overnight.
