IMPORTANT
Observe the following points carefully:
Operation
1. Always handle the microscope with the care it deserves, and avoid abrupt motions.
2.
Avoid exposure of the microscope to direct sunlight, high temperature* and humidity,
dust and vibration.
If the microscope is used in an ambient temperature higher than 40°c (104"F), it
may cause a trouble to the microscope.
3.
Only use the tension adjustment ring for altering the tension of the coarse adjustment.
Do not twist the two coarse adjustment knobs in the opposite directions simultane-
ously, which might cause damage.
4. Ascertain that the line voltage selector switch on the base plate is set to conform with
the local mains voltage.
Maintenance
1. Lenses must always be kept clean.
Fine dust on lens surfaces should be blown or
wiped off by means of an air blower or a clean brush. Carefully wipe'off oil or fingerprints deposited on the lens surfaces with gause moistened with a small amount of
xylene, alcohol or ether.
2.
Do not use organic solutions to wipe the surfaces of various components. Plastic
parts, especially, should be cleaned with a neutral detergent.
3.
Never disassemble the microscope for repair. Only authorized Olympus service per-
sonnel should make repairs.
4.
The microscope should
be
stored in its container immediately after use. If this is not
possible, it should be covered with'a vinyl dust cover.
