It contains additional information on handling and care. Use in clean rooms The Leica SmartTouchTM can be used in clean rooms without any problems. Cleaning Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents, chemicals or techniques for cleaning. Responsibilities of person in charge of instrument Ensure that the Leica SmartTouchTM is operated, maintained and repaired by authorized and trained personnel only. Never use chemicals to clean colored surfaces or accessories with rubberized parts. [. . . ] It is suitable if you usually work at a low magnification. The "Auto" setting adapts the speed to the respective magnification. It is particularly suitable if you have to change magnification frequently. Note that: High magnification level = slow focus ­ Low magnification level = fast focus. 1. Touch the "Speed" buttons to change the setting between "Slow", "Fast" and "Auto". (Continued on next page) Before the Leica SmartTouchTM can measure the distance between the current and top position, you have to calibrate the focus. For instructions, refer to page 33. Leica SmartTouchTM Manual 38 Focus Settings (cont'd. ) Changing the reference coordinates 1. Touch the "Absolute reference point" symbol. The display shows the distance between the current position and the uppermost position that can be assumed by the motorized focus. Touch the "Relative reference point" symbol. The display shows the distance Manually defining the zero point To measure the distance between two motorized focus positions, proceed as follows: 1. Move the motorized focus into the position that is to be the zero point. between the current position and the zero point defined by the user. (Continued on next page) Leica SmartTouchTM Manual 39 Focus Settings (cont'd. ) 2. Touch the button with the double arrow to define this position as the zero point. 3. Move the motorized focus into the new position. The display now shows the distance to the manually set zero point.
