medical system created through coupling via the navigation interface.
– Ensuring that the navigation system is only connected by person-
nel who have undergone appropriate training and instruction.
– Contacting the local Carl Zeiss representative for any inquiries that
may arise.
– Implementation of a procedure that guarantees the calibration of
the surgical microscope which is absolutely vital for the use of the
Carl Zeiss components "Surgical microscope on suspension system" in combination with a connected navigation system.
This allows the calibrated surgical microscope combined with the
navigation system to be used like an optical pointer with a variable
length (corresponds to the working distance).
– Conducting complete functional testing, alignment and calibration
(landmark test) of the navigation system after every subsequent installation or exchange of navigation system components
– Incorporation of a regularly changing icon in the data injection dis-
play of surgical microscopes equipped with a data injection system, i.e. the "heartbeat" of the navigation system must be
constantly visible for the user to permit data transmission errors to
be immediately detected.
• To check the accuracy of the overall system, perform the test specified
by the navigation system manufacturer, e.g. the landmark test, also
using the surgical microscope. This allows you to ensure that the stereotactic data has been correctly generated and transmitted to the navigation system without errors.

type have been attached to the microscope, they must be carefully
locked in their central positions (tighten the knurled screw for rotation).
Requirements on the antenna design (non-Zeiss antennas)
• The antenna manufacturer must confirm that his antenna has been
tested and certified for operation with the respective Carl Zeiss surgical microscope on a suspension system in accordance with the requirements specified in the Carl Zeiss interface description
"Navigation Interface for Carl Zeiss Surgical Microscopes".
• The following requirements, in particular, apply to the antenna:
– The surgical microscope with accessories and the antenna must
not exceed the admissible total weight (see label or the chapter
"Technical data").
– The antenna must not project over the bottom edge of the micro-
scope body in the direction of the surgical field.
– The antenna must neither obstruct the movement and adjustability
of the accessories which can be used on the surgical microscope
(usually a stereo coobservation tube, a camera adapter, a face-toface tube for spinal surgery, a laser micromanipulator) nor collide
with these accessories.
– The antenna configuration must be implemented in such a way
that the localizer camera can always "see" the diodes or trackballs
when the surgical microscope and its accessories are in their usual
positions.
– When the system's internal antenna wiring is used, the EN60601-
1-2 standard (electromagnetic compatibility) must be complied
with.
– The output power of the LEDs or infrared LEDs (IRED) must al-
ways comply with the IEC 60825 laser safety standard, even in the
event of cable defects.
– The failure of one or several LEDs of the antenna may impair nav-
igation or lead to navigation failure. Take the necessary precautions.

• Make sure that the instrument has been switched off before you
change the xenon lamp module. When switched on, the ignition system generates high voltage.
• The xenon illumination system is a high-intensity light source which if used improperly - can cause thermal injury to skin or tissue. Keep
the exposed tissue moist and provide sufficient irrigation. Carefully
monitor the effects of the illumination on the tissue, in particular in the
following cases:
– during prolonged procedures on skin and tissue using objective
lenses with a short focal length (short working distance),
– during procedures on tissue with a low blood supply,
– with high brightness settings of the xenon lamp.
• Since the xenon lamp provides high light intensity and generates light
with a spectrum similar to daylight, it must not be used for ophthalmic
applications.
• Any kind of radiation has a detrimental effect on biological tissue.This
also applies to the light illuminating the surgical field. Please therefore
reduce the brightness and duration of illumination on the surgical field
to the absolute minimum required.

Widefield eyepieces with magnetic coupling
Note:
When you remove these eyepieces from the tube, please note that they
are fitted with a magnetic coupling. When mounted, the eyepieces display
a very weak magnetic field, so that the usual rules for the handling of magnets must only be observed with eyepieces which have not been mounted
on the microscope:
• Do not place the eyepieces close to instruments where there is any
risk of magnetization.
• Do not place the eyepieces on sensitive electronic units such as infusion pumps, cardiac pace-makers, measuring instruments or magnetic data carriers such as disks, audiotapes and videotapes, or credit
cards.
• Always store eyepieces not used in their original packaging.
1 Eyecup
Always adjust the eyecups in such a way that you can see the full field
of view.
– Viewing with eyeglasses: Screw in the eyecups all the way.
– Viewing without eyeglasses: Screw out the eyecups until you
see the full field of view.
2 Diopter adjustment ring
The eyepieces provide ametropia compensation between -8 D and
+5 D. Eyeglass wearers who perform surgery wearing their glasses
set the diopter adjustment ring to 0 D. Turn the ring until you have obtained the optimum setting. An integrated brake holds the ring in the
position set.
3 Diopter scale

The suspension system is equipped with a xenon illumination system for
fiber illumination. The xenon lamp generates light whose spectrum resembles that of natural daylight. Regardless of the brightness setting, the
color temperature of the light always remains the same. Normal daylight
film without any additional conversion filters can therefore be used for
photographic documentation. The lamp housing contains two xenon
lamps. The second lamp is used as a backup lamp which must be swung
into the illumination beam path should the first lamp fail.

as described on page 218.
If the TFT monitor continues to move downward, the gas pressure spring
is defective.
• Notify our service representative.
Warning!
Do not use the stored video sequences, video clips (cut sequences) and
single images for diagnostic purposes, as the video cameras and the
monitor have not been calibrated. The visualized images may therefore
include deviations in scale, color and shape.
This applies in particular if the sequences, clips or images are viewed on
a monitor outside the OR, as the transmission to a different monitor may
lead to changes in the display.
