3.1 Polarizing microscope DELio
®
with halogen lighting
Unlike its version with LED lighting, the DELio
®
polarizing microscope with halogen lighting does not
have a battery. Connect the microscope to the mains, make sure that the light intensity diaol is at the
minimum level and activate the on button.
3.2 Polarizing microscope DELio® with LED lighting
For the first time using the DELio
®
microscope, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. To do this,
a charge LED indicator present in front of the light box is provided.
Charge verification:
-
Plug the microscope into the mains. Switch to « Charge » position by pressing the switch (position
II) at the right of the stand. In this position, the blue power On indicator LED at the rear of the
microscope is then turned off as well as the light.
-
2 possibilities:
i. the LED charge indicator is green: the microscope is sufficiently charged.
ii. the LED charge indicator is red: the microscope needs to be charged. In this case, let the
microscope charge until the LED becomes green.
The maximum charge time if the battery is completely discharged is 7 hours and the operating life of
your microscope allows conducting PWs continuously for a day.
Initiating:
Once your microscope is charged, remove the power cord from the outlet and wrap it in its housing
behind the microscope.
Toggle the switch forward to position I « Start ». In this case:
-
the LED charge indicator is turned off,
-
the blue power On indicator LED at the rear of the microscope is then turned on,
-
the lights work.
Important:
It is recommended to use the DELio
®
microscope in its wireless mode. In fact, the battery choice was
made for this purpose. Power connection implies that the battery remains continuously charging. Its
useful life is thus altered.
Battery specifications:
-
Rechargeable battery Lithium-Ion
-
3.7 V
– 2200 mAh / 8.14 WH
-
Charge time: 7 hours
-
Average time of microscope use on batteries: at least 1 day continuously (under conditions of
normal use)
Do not disassemble, cf. paragraph 8.
Your microscope is ready. Get to know the mechanics by gently handling each element to see how it
behaves and its effect.
