Correct assembly and adjustments are critical for the microscope to manifest its full performance. If you are going to

assemble the microscope by yourself, please read Chapter 9, “ASSEMBLY” (Pages 23 to 26). For the assemblies of the

modules for which instruction manuals are available, refer to their instruction manuals.

IMPORTANT

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that

is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in

contact with the specimen to prevent infection.

· When moving the microscope, be sure to remove the specimen to

prevent it from dropping and scattering, and hold the microscope

by the positions shown in Fig. 2 on the next page.

· In case the specimen is damaged by mistake, promptly take the action

for preventing infection.

· The microscope becomes unstable when its height is increased by

attached modules. In this case, be sure to take countermeasures for

preventing it from toppling down and dropping the specimen.

2. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the lamp bulb, set

the main switch 1to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord from the wall

outlet in advance and, whenever you replace the bulb during use or right after

use, allow the lamp replacement cover 2and bulb to cool before touching.

3. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block

the air vents on the underside of the base. Do not place the microscope

on a soft surface into which the microscope may sink, as this could result

in blocking the air vents and cause overheating or a fire.

4. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is

provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section

“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of

this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product

safety performance cannot be warranted.

5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the

microscope frame. Should the power cord come in contact with a hot

part, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.

6. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that of the

wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus

can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.

7. Never set the main switch 1to “ I ” (ON) while a metallic object is present

in the air vents of the microscope, as this could result in electrical shock,

personal injury and equipment damage.

8. After operation or in case of abnormality, be sure to disconnect the power

cord from the connector on the microscope or from the wall power outlet

Safety Symbols

The following symbols are found on the microscope. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equipment in

the safest possible manner.

Before use, carefully read the instruction manual. Improper use could result in personal injury to

the user and/or damage to the equipment.

Indicates that the main switch is ON.

Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

If the warning label is stained or peeled off, contact Olympus.

1Getting Ready

2Maintenance and Storage

Warning Label

A warning indication label is attached to every part where special precaution is required when handling and using the

microscope. Always heed the warnings.

Warning label position Bottom of microscope frame Warning against high tempera-

ture in lamp bulb replacement

1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid

subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high

temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating condi-

tions, see chapter 6, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 19.)

3. Always use the tension adjustment ring to adjust the rotation tension of

the coarse adjustment knob.

4. The microscope is ventilated by natural convection. Be sure to leave

enough spaces (10 cm or more) around it when installing it.

5. When carrying the microscope, hold it by the bottom of the base 1and

finger hook on the rear 2as shown on the left and carry carefully.

#To prevent damage, do not hold the microscope by the stage or

observation tube. Before carrying, remove the specimen and filters

to prevent them from dropping.

#If the microscope is displaced by sliding on the desktop, the rubber

feet may be damaged or separated from the bottom.

Fig. 2

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly

moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).

Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep

these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical

equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-

ventilated room.

2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean

them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.

4. When not using the microscope, ensure that the frame is cooled down and store it in a dry locker or cover it with

a dust cover.

3Caution

If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition, the

equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case

the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with the requirements of directive 98/79/EC concerning in vitro diagnostic medical

devices. CE marking means the conformity to the directive.
