3.7 Inspecting the optical adapter
„ Inspecting the optical adapter optics and connecting
screw threads
1
Check that there is no dirt or water on the inner and outer of the
objective lens and the electrodes. If dust or water is present, wipe
them clean with a soft piece of gauze, a cotton swab, or a sweep
them off with a brush. In case of cleaning during the optical adapter
attaching to the distal end of the scope, hold the hard part of the
distal end. The best results may be obtained using the lens
cleaning fluid provided in the lens cleaning kit.
CAUTION
•
Using the optical adapter electrodes while dirt or water is present may cause damage to the
optical adapter or the scope distal end.
• Failure to clean electrodes properly can result in illumination failure.
2
Make sure that there are no deformities or foreign objects in the
threads of the screws of the optical adapter. Moisten a cotton swab
with cleaning fluid and continue cleaning until doing so leaves no
dirt on the cotton swab. Clean in the order shown in the diagrams,
(1), (2), (3). Spin the cotton swab while cleaning. Also, for thorough
cleaning, turn the optical adapter while doing (2) and (3).
