SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Fig.1

1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen
that is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts
coming in contact with the specimen to prevent infection.

· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the

specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this
product.

· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly

take the infection prevention measures.

2. To avoid potential shock hazard and fire, always set the main switch @
to “ ” (OFF) and disconnect the power cord from the AC receptacle
at the rear of the microscope and from the wall outlet before replacing
the bulb. Allow the lamp housing cover ² and the bulb to cool before
touching them.

3. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table.
The air vents on the underside of the base should never be blocked
by placing the microscope on a flexible surface such as a carpet, as
this could result in overheating and cause a fire.

4. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the
section “PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the
end of this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety and performance
of the equipment.

5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
microscope base. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot
microscope base, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.

6. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding
terminal of the power supply and that of the wall outlet are properly
connected. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus can no longer
warrant the electrical safety and performance of the equipment.

7. Never set the main switch @ to “ ” (ON) while any metallic object is
inserted into the air vents of the microscope frame as this will result in
electrical shock, personal injury and equipment damage.

8. When the microscope is not in use or when it is malfunctioning,
disconnect the power cord plug from the AC receptacle or from the
wall outlet.

If the warning label becomes soiled, peeled off, etc., contact Olympus to have it replaced.

Getting Ready

Fig. 2

Base underside
(Caution for bulb replacement)

1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid
subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight,
high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating
environment conditions, refer to and adhere to the conditions specified
in Chapter 6, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 17.)

3. The tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob should only be
adjusted by means of the tension adjustment ring.

4. Heat from the microscope is led away by natural convection.
Consequently, leave an enough space (10 cm or more) on the rear of
the microscope and ensure that the room is well ventilated.

5. When moving the microscope, carefully carry it with one hand under
the base @ and the other hand holding at the recessed handle on the
rear of the arm ² as shown in the illustration on the left.

#Damage to the microscope will occur if you hold it by the stage, X-

axis/Y-axis knob, binocular section of the observation tube, etc.
Also be sure to remove the specimen to prevent it from falling off.

#Sliding the microscope on the surface of the table may damage or

tear off the rubber feet and/or scratch the table top surface.

Maintenance and Storage

1

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze
slightly moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).

Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to
keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks -- for example,
electrical equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a
well-ventilated room.

2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components of the microscope. To clean them, use a
lint-free, soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as malfunction or damage may occur.

4. When not using the microscope, ensure that the frame is cooled down and store it in a locker or cover it with a dust
cover.

5. When disposing of the microscope, check the regulations and rules of your local goverment and be sure to observe
them.

Caution

3

If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In
addition, the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.

The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the

user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).
# : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.
} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

This device complies with the requirements of directive 98/79/EC concerning in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
CE marking means the conformity to the directive.

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the

user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC WARNING : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
