IMPORTANT

This microscope employs a UIS2 (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only with

UIS2 eyepieces, objectives and condensers for the BX2 series. (Some of the modules designed for the BX

series and objectives/eyepieces for the UIS series are also usable. For details, please consult Olympus

or the catalogues.) Less than optimum performance may result if inappropriate accessories are used.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Fig. 1

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.

· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the spe-

cimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this product.

· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly

take the infection prevention measures.

· Follow the procedures described in Chapter "Getting Ready" (see on

page 2) prior to using the accessories of this product. Otherwise, the

stability of the device will be lost and the dropped specimen will cause

the possibility of infection.

2. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench.

3. Be careful not to tilt the microscope too much. Otherwise, the mobile

parts such as the light path selector knob may move in unintended

directions.

4. The surfaces of the lamp housing on the rear of the microscope will

become extremely hot during operation. When installing the microscope,

make sure to allow ample free space (10 cm or more) around and in

particular above the lamp housing.

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

lamp housing. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot lamp

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

6. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light

bulb, set the main switch @ to "

from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during

use or right after use, allow the lamp housing, and bulb to cool before

touching. (Fig. 1)

Designated bulb

Always use the designated lamp bulb. Using other bulb may

CAUTION

cause malfunction.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the microscope frame

as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment

damage.

10. The standard service life of the lamp housing is eight (8) years of use or

20,000 hours of total power ON period, whichever is the shorter period.
