material, as doing so may result in fire. Always place the light
source in standby mode whenever the scope is removed from
the light cable or the device is unattended. The scope tip, scope
light post, light cable adapter, and light cable tip will take
several minutes to cool off after being placed in standby mode,
and therefore may still result in fire or burns to the patient,
user, or inanimate objects.
