Do not subject the LCD surface to impact or strong pressure. Doing so could shatter the LCD
screen and cause personal injury.
•
Do not rub the LCD with hard or sharp objects. This can crack or scratch the LCD panel.
•
Do not allow a metallic object or a fluid such as water enter the battery compartment or the
battery terminals. Should any foreign object enter the instrument, remove the battery and the
AC adapter from the IPLEX LX/LT (main unit) and immediately contact Olympus.
•
Do not touch the connectors directly by hand. Otherwise, a malfunction or electric shock may
result.
•
Do not allow metallic or foreign objects to enter the device through connectors or any other
openings. Otherwise, a malfunction or electric shock may result.
•
In case an irregularity such as smoke, abnormal odor or abnormal noise is detected,
immediately stop using the equipment even when it looks operable, and do not turn it ON
again.
•
When transporting this equipment, turn off the power and remove the battery. It is extremely
dangerous to transport this equipment while it is on, as this can lead to unexpected
accidents.
CAUTION
•
Never use the IPLEX LX/LT without an optical adapter fitted.
•
A message instructing you to clean the electrodes will display when there is an electrode
malfunction caused by foreign objects in between the optical adapter and the insertion tube
distal end. In this case, immediately stop operation, gently remove the insertion tube and
follow the instructions on page 138 under “Error messages”.
•
The image quality may be deteriorated in high temperature.
•
Inserting the insertion tube into an observation object that is hotter than the operating temperature
may damage the equipment. The LX series has a temperature alarm function that sounds an
alarm and displays a warning message. If this happens, immediately remove the insertion tube
from the observation object. Continuing operation my damage or reduce the performance of the
equipment.
•
Do not insert the insertion tube in a machine that is running, as this may result in the insertion
tube and/or machine damage. Also do not run the machine while the insertion tube is
inserted in it.
•
The minimum bending radius of the insertion tube is 20 mm for the 4 mm type, 30 mm for the
6 mm type and 50 mm for the 8.5 mm type. Bending at less than the minimum bending radius
may result in damage to the insertion tube.
•
The optical adapter is not waterproof by itself. When water gets into the joint area between
the insertion tube and optical adapter, malfunction or instrument damage may occur. Check if
the O-ring is correctly attached and if no crack exists on its surface. Before attaching or
detaching the optical adapter, check the joint area between the insertion tube and optical
adapter if no water droplets are present.
•
Do not bring the insertion tube in contact with a liquid other than water, saline, machine oil
and light oil. It may damage the instrument.
•
Do not cover the instrument with a plastic bag or other object during use. If the inside of the
instrument cannot be cooled, the instrument damage may result.
•
Do not use this instrument where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
