SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 prod-
uct.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly
take the infection prevention measures.
2. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the lamp
bulb, set the main switch 1 to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during
use or right after use, allow the lamp socket 2 and bulb to cool before
touching. (Fig. 1)
Applicable lamp bulb: 6V20WHAL halogen bulb (Philips Type 7388)
3. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block
the air vents on the underside of the base.
Do not place the microscope on a flexible surface, as this could result in
blocking the air vents and cause overheating or 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, product
safety performance cannot be warranted.
5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
microscope frame. Should the power cord come in contact with a hot
part, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
6. Always ensure that the
grounding terminal
of the microscope and that
of the wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the
equipment.
7. Never allow metallic objects penetrate into the air vents of the micro-
scope frame as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and
equipment damage.
8. After operation or in case of abnormality, be sure to disconnect the power
cord from the connector on the microscope or from the wall power outlet.
