of the battery is recommended whenever the battery operation time becomes very short.
Contact Olympus about buying a battery.
For details about how to load and remove the battery, see "Using the battery" (P. 16).

Cleaning components
Cleaning the distal end
Dirt or water on the objective lens and illumination
Grasping the rigid portion of the distal end, use a clean, soft piece of
gauze or a cotton swab to wipe off the dirt or water.
Best results may be obtained using a commercially available absolute
ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning the insertion tube
Dirt or other foreign matter on the insertion tube
Wipe with a clean soft cloth.
Dirty water, machine oil, or other liquid on the insertion tube
Wipe with a soft cloth or cotton swab, and then wash thoroughly with a piece of gauze or other
material moistened with a neutral detergent. Next, use a clean, piece of gauze moistened with
clean water, and then wipe the insertion tube dry of all moisture.
NOTE
•
Clean the insertion tube immediately after withdrawing the insertion tube. Leaving the insertion tube very
dirty for long periods can cause it to become corroded.
•
Do not use a hard cloth or hard brush for cleaning the insertion tube. Otherwise, the insertion tube may be
damaged.
Cleaning the control unit
Dirty control unit
