Turn the instrument on with the power switch at the rear.
This is followed by a beep.
The instrument initializes.
The display (here only as an example) of the software version follows in the
four-digit LED display. This display disappears after 2 seconds and "0000" is
displayed. 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 il-
luminated in green.
If the yellow LED in the LOCK field (4) of the control panel is lit, the mechani-
cal handwheel lock or the handwheel brake ( Item 3 in Fig. 2 ) is activated.
The instrument cannot be used as long as the LED is lit.
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.
4.6 Switching on the instrument
When turning the instrument on with the power switch, do not press any of the buttons of the
control panel!
