CAUTION
●
Do not use the instrument in any environment (including strongly radioactive environments) other than the
specified operating environment.
Otherwise, unexpected accidents that may damage the insertion tube may result.
●
Note the following precautions when moving this unit to or using it at an elevated location.
–
Conduct a prior inspection
–
Take measures to prevent the unit from falling off
–
Implement thorough safety measures
●
Pay careful attention to the temperature of the distal end and the insertion tube right after using this instrument
in high temperature environments as the temperature does not cool down immediately.
Otherwise, you may get burned.
●
Do not grip the control for a prolonged period of time when using the unit under a high temperature.
Otherwise, it may cause low-temperature burns. Take precautionary measures such as wearing protective gloves
to prevent low-temperature burns.
●
Pay attention not to trip over the power cord or cables of the insertion tube.
●
Do not use commercially-sold electronic transformers for overseas travel use (travel converters).
●
Use only the power cord and the AC adapter specified by Olympus and connect the power cord to the power
outlet within the rated range.
Otherwise, smoke, fire, or electric shock may occur.
●
Do not use the power cord specified for this instrument for other products.
●
Do not use the AC adapter outdoors.
Otherwise, electric shock, smoke or fire may occur, which may cause damage to the instrument.
The AC adapter is designed for indoor use.
●
Do not apply a strong impact to the AC adapter by hitting it against the wall or dropping it to the floor, etc.
Otherwise, the malfunction or damage may be caused and result in electric shock.
●
If you sense any abnormality while inserting the insertion tube into the inspection object, do not attempt to
insert it forcibly any more but carefully pull out the insertion tube.
Note the following when pulling out the insertion tube.
–
Do not pull out the insertion tube from the inspection object while the angulation is locked or while the angulation
section is bent.
–
If the insertion tube is caught on something during pulling it out, rotate the insertion tube gently while continuing
to pull out.
●
Note the following precautions when handling the distal end of the insertion tube.
–
Do not drop the optical adapter or subject it to strong impact.
–
Do not subject the distal end to severe impact or pulling.
–
Do not subject the angulation section to strong pressure or bending.
–
Do not move by holding the distal end of the insertion tube.
–
Do not use this instrument if the O-ring of the distal end of the insertion tube is damaged or torn.
Otherwise, the glass lenses and the precision components which constitute the distal end and the angulation
section may be damaged.
–
Do not tilt or strongly scratch the distal end of the insertion tube against the retention hole for the distal end of
the insertion tube when inserting or removing the distal end.
Otherwise, the angulation section may be damaged.
●
Always attach the optical adapter before using this instrument.
If you use the instrument without attaching the optical adapter to the insertion tube, parts (screws, etc.) are easily
deformed due to contact with hard objects, etc. If the insertion tube parts are deformed, the optical adapter cannot
be attached or may fall off.
●
Never use the optical adapter if any of its parts are loose.
Otherwise, the loose parts may fall off.
●
If the optical adapter cannot be attached or removed because the nut does not rotate, stop using it.
Contact Olympus.
