present in the camera’s eld of view when the white balance is being
adjusted. A white balance calibration is made each time the camera
is turned on to adjust to the given light conditions.
NB: If the camera’s eld of view does not contain a white object,
when the unit is turned on, the white balance will be incorrect and it
will be necessary to perform the white balance adjustment process
as described previously.
2. Optimal working distance

NB: It is only possible to import watermarks from USB storages with
a FAT32 formatted le system. If your USB storage does not currently
have this le system, a dialogue box allows you to format the USB
storage. A second pop-up will ask you to conrm your selection.
Please notice that all les on the USB memory stick will be deleted
once formatting begins. Formatting time will vary.
After importing, you can see a preview of the watermark before
closing the dialogue box.
To access saved les, see manual section ACCESS SAVED PHOTOS.

Access les saved on USB memory stick
Unplug the USB memory stick from the microscope and insert it
in a computer. Here, you'll be able to save, view, copy, move and
rename les.
Access les saved on microscope
To access les saved on the internal storage of the microscope, the
microscope itself must be connected to a network. Use one of the
two methods below:
Method 1
- Connect the cable from the wall socket to the microscope. Then,
connect a computer to the same network either by cable or WiFi.
Method 2
- Connect a computer and the microscope to a stand-alone router
without internet acess to create a closed network. This solution is
useful if you cannot connect the microscope to your network
Regardless of method, verify that an IP address of the microscope
is displayed in the microscope System information. If no IP address
is stated, check that all cables are connected correctly or consult a
network administrator.
Afterwards, follow the description below matching your operating
system to access the les:

This is a step by step guide to perform a system update on your
TAGARNO FHD TREND, FHD PRESTIGE or FHD UNO.
• To install a new application or updates to your TAGARNO, you
need to perform a system update on your current microscope.
• To perform a system update, a system update le needs to be
installed directly on the microscope.
• In some cases, you need a license key generated from the serial
number of the microscope in order to activate the application
after installation.
See the license key section for further explanation on how to
request and activate a license.
Note: In some cases, it is necessary to complete more than
one system update processes, if an update contains substantial
improvements and considerable le sizes. The microscope will notify
you if this is needed.
Follow the few steps below to perform a system update to
your TAGARNO microscope.
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD INSTALLATION FILE
1. Locate and access the installation le(s) via this link:
www.tagarno.com/rmware-download

3. If the le(s) is in a ZIP folder, unzip the les and make sure that
only the correct installation le(s) or previous system update
les appear on the memory stick.
Note: File names always have the following format:
tagarno_fhd_system_vx_xx.image
tagarno_fhd_system_vx_xx.system
