IMPORTANT (COMMON)
The DP21 microscope digital camera is designed to be connected to a camera adapter mounted on an
Olympus UIS2/UIS series microscope for use in recording of microscopic magnified image of the optical
microscope.
When the DP21 is used with a camera adapter from other manufacturer than Olympus, the optical perfor-
mance may not be manifested fully.
1-1 Safety Precautions
1. Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cable or power cord, make sure that the main switch of the control box
is set to OFF.
When connecting the cable or power cord, push in the connector all the way before pressing the main switch to ON.
To avoid electric shock or equipment failure, never connect or disconnect a cable while the main switch is
set to ON.
2. Always use the AC adapter provided by Olympus.
Using a similar but non-Olympus AC adapter does not only allow the camera to manifest its full performance but may
also cause an equipment failure as well as a burn or fire hazard due to abnormal heating. Never use such an AC adapter.
3. The cords and cables are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply excessive force to them.
Also distribute the cords and cables away from a heat-generating part such as the lamp housing of the microscope.
4. To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments that may make the total height of
the microscope above 1 meter when they are attached.
5. The AC adapter, camera head, control box and USB memory generate heat after they have been used for a long period
of time.
To avoid moderate temperature burn, do not leave these parts in extended contact with your skin.
6. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding terminals of the power supply and wall outlet are
properly connected. If the equipment is not
grounded/earthed,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety
performance of the equipment.
