Exposure to extreme temperature changes and high air humidity may cause condensation to form
inside the instrument.
After transporting, please wait at least 2 hours to allow the instrument to adopt the ambient
temperature before turning it on!
Failure to comply with this may cause damage to the instrument.

When turning the instrument on with the mains switch, do not press any of the buttons of the
control panel!
Turn the instrument on with the mains switch at the rear.
This is followed by a beep.
The instrument initializes.
The software version is displayed in the 4-digit display for approx. two
seconds. Then the display reads "0000". After the microtome is switched
on, the display fields and LEDs of all activated functions are lit up on the
instrument’s control panel and display field.
The three-digit LED display indicates the last value set for the section
thickness or trimming section thickness, depending on which setting was
last activated. This is indicated simultaneously on the control panel and
microtome. The LED of the active mode (here the section thickness) is illu-
minated in green.
If the yellow LED in the LOCK field (4) of the control panel is lit, the
mechanical handwheel lock or the handwheel brake (
Item 3 in Fig. 3) is
activated.
The instrument cannot be started as long as the LED is lit.
