Common Sense Safety Instructions
1. Purpose
Use this microscope only for microscopic observation.
Do not use this microscope for any other purpose because the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
2. Never Disassemble the Microscope
There are no user serviceable parts inside the microscope. Disassembly will void the warranty, and
could degrade the performance, cause electrical shock or personal injury, or damage the instrument.
If you have a service problem, contact your nearest Nikon representative.
3. Check the Input Voltage
The input voltage is indicated in two places at the rear of the microscope: on the nameplate and above
the AC-IN socket. Confirm that these input voltage indications correspond to the voltage provided in your
region. If not, follow one of the instructions below. The use of microscopes with the different input
voltage indications will cause overcurrent and overheating, which may result in fire or severe damage to
the microscope.
If the voltage indication on the nameplate differs:
Do not plug in the microscope. Contact your nearest Nikon
representative.
If the voltage indication above the AC-IN socket differs:
Refer to p. 26 and change the input voltage setting before
turning on the power switch.
• For the microscope with the nameplate showing
[100/110/120 V
The voltage can be set to: AC 100 V, 110 V or 120 V.
• For the microscope with the nameplate showing
[220/230/240 V
The voltage can be set to: AC 220 V, 230 V or 240 V.
4. Use the Specified Lamp, Fuse, and Power Cord

the power cord provided. For the microscope with the nameplate showing [220/230/240 V], use the
specified power cord. Using an incorrect lamp, fuse, or power cord may damage the instrument or cause
a fire. (Also see p. 41-42 on power cord.)
