On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container in which to transport the
unit.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact
Olympus.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan
stops and “Fan error” appears on the display, turn off the
power and contact Olympus.
On Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm
place, or the unit is warm and the ambient temperature
cools suddenly (by air-conditioning, for example),
moisture may condense on the surface or inside of the
unit, or create a mist residue inside the protection plate.
This is called moisture condensation, and is not a
malfunction of the product itself, although it may cause
damage to the unit.
Leave the unit in a condensation free area.
If moisture condensation has occurred, turn off the unit
and do not use it until moisture condensation has
evaporated.

WARNING
• Never install and operate this monitor in locations
where:
– The concentration of oxygen is high.
– Oxidizing agents (such as nitrous oxide (N
2
O)) are
present in the atmosphere.
– Flammable anesthetics are present in the
atmosphere.
– Flammable liquids are near.
Otherwise, explosion or fire may result because this
monitor is not explosion-proof.
• Strictly observe the following precautions. Failure to
do so may place the patient and medical personnel in
danger of an electric shock:
– Keep fluids away from all electrical equipment. If
fluids are spilled on or into the monitor, immediately
stop operating it and contact Olympus.
– Do not prepare, inspect or use this monitor with wet
hands.
• If an irregularity is observed during use of the monitor,
stop operation of the monitor. Some problems may be
correctable by referring to the following procedure.
Damage or irregularity in the monitor may
compromise patient or operator safety and may result
in more severe equipment damage.
– In case of a loss of the endoscopic image or a frozen
image:
Turn off the monitor, and turn it on again after
several seconds. Also turn off the ancillary
equipment to be used in combination with this
monitor and turn it on again, as described in the
instruction manuals for the equipment. If the
problem cannot be resolved by the described
remedial action, stop using the monitor and gently
withdraw the videoscope, fiberscope, rigid
endoscope or ultrasonic endoscope from the
patient’s body as indicated in the endoscope’s
instruction manual.
– In case of other irregularity:
Immediately stop operation of the monitor,
withdraw the videoscope, fiberscope, rigid
endoscope or ultrasonic endoscope from the patient
as indicated in the endoscope’s instruction manual.
• When installing this monitor on the mobile
workstation or a trolley with a clamping table, be sure
to provide the mobile workstation or trolley with a
toppling/movement prevention measure. If such a
measure is not taken, the mobile workstation or trolley
could move or fall during the procedure, which could
cause patient and/or operator injury.
• Before using high-frequency electrosurgical
equipment, make sure that any signal noise emitted
from the equipment does not affect the observation of
the surgical procedures. If high-frequency
