Chapter 4 Basic operations
3
Verify the light is emitted from the insertion tube to ensure that the
light source is turned on.
Use optical adapters that have a green index with this device. The devices may
not operate at optimum performance when using a optical adapter with a black
index.
4
Increase the intensity of the illumination (LX only)
To increase the illumination intensity, holding down the LIGHT button (
) for at
least two seconds (long push) while illumination is turned on.
Confirm that the light emitted by the insertion tube is increased and that the Hi-
Beam indicator is on the indicator display.
CAUTION
•
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.
•
If the distal end of the insertion tube or the inside of the main unit gets too hot while the light
is set to high, the insertion tube automatically returns the light to normal (LX only).
•
Immediately after pressing and holding the LIGHT button (
) the Hi-Beam indicator may
flash, but this is not a malfunction. The indicator stops flashing after a short time and stays lit
(LX only).
5
Decrease the intensity of the illumination (LX only)
To decrease the illumination intensity, press the LIGHT button (
) once while the
illumination intensity is high (high-beam indicator is on).
Check that the amount of light has returned to normal, and that the Hi-Beam indicator on
the display has disappeared.
White balance adjustment
Adjust the white balance of the insertion tube as required by following the
procedure described in “Live screen/frozen screen menu display and functions”
in “WHITE BALANCE” (page 76).
Adjust the white balance after replacing the optical adapter.
Checking the angulation functions
1
Straighten the insertion tube.
2
Manipulate the [ANGLE] joystick slowly and ensure that the
angulation section moves smoothly.
