Leica DM500 B Manuel D’Utilisation

 

As a safety precaution, the power cord 
has been grounded to the microscope 

base. Never use an adapter between the power 
cord and the power source; it will render the 
grounding feature ineffective.

• 

Always use your microscope on a hard, 
stable surface. 

• 

If the power cord is not already 
attached, attach it securely to the back 

of the microscop.

1.  Insert the batteries in the underside of the 

base

2.  If the power cord is not already attached, 

attach it securely to the power supply, if 
you use a DM500 B with a rechargeable 
base.

3.  Plug in the power supply or the optional 

solar panel in order to charge the batteries 
(allow 4 hours minimum to fully charge the 
batteries)

 

After being fully charged the batteries 
will provide 6-8 hours of operation.

 

If necessary, the microscope can func-
tion without batteries assuming either  

the power supply or optional solar panel is 
plugged in.

• 

Set the illumination control knob 
(located on the bottom left of the 

microscope stand) to the lowest setting to 
start. The illumination control knob allows you 
to adjust the intensity of light produced by the 
illumination system.
