Olympus IPLEX UltraLite - Manual (Page 7)

• Use only a power cord and AC adapter specified by Olympus.
Using equipment not specified by Olympus may damage the instrument causing smoke or fire.
• To ensure electrical safety, connect the power cord to a 3P power outlet.
Electrical safety designed into the product by Olympus cannot be guaranteed if there is no
connection to power outlet ground.
• Do not unplug the power cord while the instrument's POWER button is on.
• Do not use the AC adapter outdoors.
Otherwise, electric shock might occur, or smoke emission and fire might occur, causing damage
to the instrument.
The AC adapter is designed for indoor use.
• Do not subject the AC adapter to strong impact cause by striking it against a wall, dropping it, etc.
Otherwise, malfunction, damage, or electric shock might occur.
• Do not leave the distal end illumination on.
Otherwise, the illumination emitted from the distal end may heat up a nearby object and cause it
to ignite. Whenever stopping operation, be sure to turn off illumination.
• Do not look directly into the illumination being emitted by the distal end.
Otherwise, eye damage may result.
• Do not expose the LCD monitor to strong impact, strong pressure, or to scratching by a hard or
pointed object.
Otherwise, the LCD monitor might be cracked or scratched, or a damaged monitor could create
the risk of personal injury.
• Do not subject the insertion tube or other cables to strong pulling, and do not move the main unit
around by holding the cables.
Otherwise, the insertion tube and/or cables may be damaged.
• Do not allow any liquids other than water, saltwater, machine oil, or diesel oil come into contact
with the insertion tube.
Otherwise, the insertion tube may be damaged.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with parts other than the insertion tube.
Water creates the risk of electric shock. The parts of the instrument other than the insertion tube,
including the carrying case, are not watertight, so the instrument should not be used or stored
where it is submerged or wet.
• Do not subject the distal end to severe impact or pulling, and do not expose the angulation
section to severe impact or bending.
Otherwise, the precision components that make up the distal end and the angulation section
might be damaged.
• Note the following precautions whenever operating the angulation section.
• Do not bend the insertion tube to a radius that is less than its minimum bend radius (20 mm for
the 4 mm type, 30 mm for the 6 mm type).
• Should you sense any abnormality when performing angulation operation, do not try to force
the angulation operation.
Doing so can damage the insertion tube or observation object.
• Do not drop the optical adapter or otherwise subject it to strong impact.
The optical adapter is a precision instrument. Glass lenses are used in the optical system, and so
care is required during handling.
• Never use the instrument without an optical adapter mounted.
Otherwise, parts (screws, etc.) are easily subjected to deformation due to contact with hard
objects, etc. Deformed insertion tube parts can make it no longer possible to mount an optical
adapter and can cause the optical adapter to fall off. Never use the instrument without an optical
adapter mounted.
Also note that an optical adapter by itself is not watertight. Water getting into the area where the
insertion tube and optical adapter join might cause malfunction or damage.
