WARNING
• Do not look directly into the distal end of the endoscope, the distal end of the light
guide cable, or the output socket of the light source when they are emitting light.
The intense light may cause eye injury.
• Use compatible endoscopes only. Using an incompatible endoscope can result in
patient injury and/or equipment damage. Refer to the “  System chart” on page 93
for the compatible endoscope to be used with the light source.
• If the surface of the endoscope and light guide cable is dirty, reprocess it according
to the directions given in the endoscope’s instruction or reprocessing manual
before connecting it to the light source. Otherwise, it may cause patient injury,
equipment damage, and/or improper illumination.
• Since the light source irradiates strong examination light, the disconnected end of
the light guide cable or the distal end of the endoscope becomes very hot. To
prevent a fire hazard, do not bring the disconnected end of the light guide cable or
distal end of the endoscope in contact with a flammable object, such as operating
room drapes when the examination lamp is turned ON.
• Do not touch the distal end of the light guide connector of the endoscope, distal end
of the light guide cable, distal end of the light guide cable’s connector, or output
socket of the light source immediately after disconnecting it from the light source
because they are extremely hot. Operator or patient injury can result.
• Before connecting the endoscope connector to the light source, make sure that it is
completely dry. Otherwise, electric shock or equipment damage can result.
