5. The microscope is provided with a simplified waterproof mechanism.
Therefore, if culture liquid or water is spilt on the stage, revolving nosepiece
or microscope frame, damage to the equipment or an electrical shock
may result. Immediately wipe the liquid or water off if it is spilt on them.
6. When moving the microscope, remove the modules that may drop
including the specimen from the microscope in advance, then care-
fully carry the microscope frame by the base (front edge)
1
and the
grasping part on the illumination column
2
as shown in Fig. 2 (Weight:
approx. 25 kg).
When moving the microscope for a long distance, it is also recommended
to disconnect all cables from the equipment.
When transporting it, also engage the transport lock mechanisms and
package it sufficiently.
Also be careful against slipping of hands during carrying.
# Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by other parts
including the stage, focusing knob, etc.
7. The microscope is not covered by warranty in terms of laser safety. The
user should assume liabilities for any consequence of user modification
including introduction of the use of laser beam.
8. The surfaces of the lamp housing 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.
9. 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.

11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the microscope frame
as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment
damage.
14. The standard service life of the lamp housing is 8 (eight) years of use or
20,000 hours of total power ON period, whichever is the shorter period.
For details, see Inspection Sheet on page 61.
10. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during
use or right after use, allow the lamp housing
3
and bulb to cool before
touching. (Fig. 3)
