MANTIS COMPACT

Overview

Turn on the power switch and place the subject be-

neath the Mantis viewing head.

Focus

The aim of the universal stand products is that the height of

the instrument is set to a comfortable viewing position and the

subject is then lifted (normally by hand) into focus. Thus maintaining

optimum ergonomics.

To set the height of the instrument, ensure the friction clamp is

loosened then move the viewing head up or down until the required

viewing position is obtained and tighten the friction clamp.

Eye Spacing

Adjust the eye spacing control to obtain a comfortable stereo view.

Note: Adjusting the eye spacing is very important for viewing

comfort and must be adjusted for each Mantis user.

Changing Lenses

To change the objective lens, twist and remove lens . Store the lens in the supplied container.

Fit and lock the chosen objective lens into the objective seat.

Head Counterbalance

When a lens has been changed, it may be necessary to adjust the head counterbalance. Adjust the

counterbalance screw (clockwise for lighter lenses or counter-clockwise for heavier ones) until the viewing head does

not drift up or down when unsupported.

Ergonomic Viewing

An ergonomic posture will ensure that users fully benefit from the advantages provided by the Mantis optical technology.

In setting up your Mantis, firstly arrange your workspace, paying attention to the heights of the chair and table.

When seated with a straight back, your eyes should be comfortably lined up with the Mantis viewing head. Forearms

should be supported by the work surface.

Operation

General Care

 When not in use, cover your Mantis with the dust cover provided.

 Remove dust with a soft brush or cleaning cloth.

 The Mantis lenses should be cleaned with a lens cleaning cloth.

 Keep accessories in a dust-free environment when not in use.
