CAUTION

Do not use this instrument in any environment (including strongly radioactive environments) that does not conform to the specified operating environment.

Otherwise, unexpected accidents that may damage the insertion tube may result.

Do not insert the insertion tube into an observation object in an environment that is outside the operating temperature range.

A temperature alarm function will display a message whenever a temperature outside the operating temperature range is approached.

If this happens, immediately remove the insertion tube from the observation object. Continued use may damage or reduce the performance of the instrument.

Do not continue to use the instrument when it is wet with condensation.

Sudden temperatures changes such as those that occur when entering a warm room from the outside cold can cause condensation to form inside the instrument. Using the instrument while it is wet with condensation can cause malfunction. If condensation forms, leave the instrument in the environment where it is to be used and allow the condensation to dry before using it.

Do not cover the main unit with a plastic bag or other object during use.

If the inside of the instrument cannot be cooled, the instrument damage may result.

Take care not to have your feet caught by a cord including the power cord or insertion tube.

2

Use only a power cord and AC adapter specified by Olympus.

Using equipment not specified by Olympus may damage the instrument causing smoke or fire.

To ensure electrical safety, connect the power cord to a 3P power outlet.

Electrical safety designed into the product by Olympus cannot be guaranteed if there is no connection to power outlet ground.

Do not unplug the power cord while the instrument's POWER button is on.
