• For safety, the colposcope should only be coupled to
a grounded 110-120 VAC hospital-grade outlet.
• The colposcope should not be operated in the pres-
ence of flammable or explosive gases or chemicals,
or installed in areas where these materials are com-
monly used.
• To avoid overheating, the colposcope should not be
positioned closer than 6” to any wall.
• Keep all liquids away from electrical equipment to
avoid the possibility of shock and instrument dam-
age.
• Occasionally inspect the power cord for signs of
cuts, abrasions or dents.
• The colposcope should never be stored or operated
in areas where it could get wet or could be exposed
to any environmental conditions like extreme tem-
perature or humidity, direct sunlight, dust, etc.

ditions found in this manual. Otherwise, instrument
