IMPORTANT
The microscope digital camera DP80 is designed to be connected to a camera adapter mounted on an Olym-
pus UIS2/UIS series of optical microscope (not applicable to the LB series) for use in recording of microscopic
magnified images at high speed and highest resolution while maintaining high picture quality and high color
reproduction. The DP80 incorporates a variety of functions for supporting image recording under optimum
conditions.
When the microscope digital camera DP80 is used with a camera adapter or a microscope from a manufac-
turer other than Olympus, the optical performance may not be manifested fully.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be endangered. In addi-
tion, the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury or damage to the equipment or other property. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

Caution on Image Data Storage
The recorded image data may be lost (destroyed) in the following cases. Note that Olympus will not assume any liabilities for
the loss (destruction) of recorded data. The image data may also be destroyed by an unexpected cause. It is recommended to
back up the data periodically.
· When the user or a third party services repairs the equipment.
· When the PC is shut down, the AC adapter is disconnected or the power cord is unplugged during recording or era-
sure (formatting) of the PC.
· In case when continuing to save the data for the period exceeding the life time of data storage of USB memory, (ap-
prox. 1 to several years).
· When the equipment fails.
Please note if following cases may occur though the camera is working properly, the image restoration or the compensation for
damages are not guaranteed.
· The image is abnormal.
· File properties e.g. file names, file time, etc. are abnormal.
· The image is lost.
} In general, as the data retention lifetime is set in the electronic memory media, e.g. USB memory, HDD, CD-R, DVD-R, etc.,
the saved files may be lost after several years.
} The image data may disappear (be destroyed) unexpectedly. Be sure to backup the data on regular base.
} Make sure that there is no problem when acquiring the subjects before acquisition. Please note that even though the
problem may occur caused by the acquired images, Olympus will not be responsible for these problems.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Symbols
The following symbols are found on the microscope. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equip-
ment in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Explanation
Indicates a non-specific general hazard. Follow the description given after this symbol or
in the instruction manual..
Caution labels
Caution labels are placed at parts where special precaution is required when handling and using the microscope.
Always pay attentions to the caution labels.
Positions of caution labels
Rear of the camera head
PCIe interface board
If the caution label becomes dirty or is peeled off, contact Olympus for replacement.

Never connect or disconnect the interface cable while the standby switch of the PC is set to ON. Otherwise,
malfunction may result.
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that the standby switch of the PC is set to OFF.
When connecting the interface cable, push in the connector all the way and ensure that the connector will not slip
out before setting the standby switch to ON.
Do not move the PC or apply an impact to it while it is powered ON.
2. The cords and interface cables are vulnerable to bends or twists. Do not apply excessive force to them.
3. To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments that may make the total height
of the microscope above 1 meter when they are attached.
4. When installing the PCIe interface board, be sure to hold it by the edge. Never touch the board surface directly, as
this will lead to malfunction.
CAUTION
DP80
5
The area (IC) of the PCIe interface board becomes very hot during and immediately after use of the camera.
Be careful never to touch them during and after use.
5. For handling the PC, refer to the separately provided “PC User’s Manual”.
6. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is provid-
ed, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section “PROPER
SELECTION OF THE POWER CORD” at the end of this instruction manual. If
the proper power cord is not used, the safety and EMC performance of the
device can not be assured.
7. Always connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding
terminal of the device and that of the wall outlet are properly connected. If the
device is not grounded, our intended electric safety and EMC performance of
the device can not be assured.
8. When installing the DP80, route the power cord away from the lamp house of
the microscope. Should the power cord come in contact with a hot part, the
power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
9. After operation or in case of abnormality, be sure to disconnect the power
cord from the connector on the product or from the outlet.
10. Do not permit tools or metal fragments to get into air vents, or other apertures.
Doing so could cause failure of the PCIe extension box or electric shock to
the user.

PC and Software
The PC data may be destroyed by an unexpected event. Be sure to keep a backup of the data.
1. Olympus will not assume any liabilities for any damage incurred due to the use or non-usability of this system,
including compensation for the lost data.
2. The PC used with this system should set up and run Microsoft Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate.
For the OS in the PC, the user is requested to create a backup and retain it carefully. (Olympus does not support the
matters related to the OS including its backup.)
For details on the PC and Microsoft Windows 7, refer to their respective manuals.
3. Olympus guarantees the quality of this product in the factory shipment condition.
Olympus will not assume any liabilities for operation errors and functional faults incurred due to the alteration of the
environmental setup (including BIOS change), installation of other software or addition of hardware to the PC by the
user.
4. When the HDD free space reduces, the data processing speed may slow extremely or errors may occur frequently.
To prevent this, delete unnecessary data files frequently. For how to delete data files, refer to the manuals for Microsoft
Windows 7.
5. Never attempt to delete or rename the folders and files installed by the provided installer software. Otherwise, the
software may get unable to be started up.
6. Do not open the housing of the PC and touch the power supply or the circuit board’s heat generating section right
after use as it may burn your hand. Wait until the internal temperature drops sufficiently.
7. Sharp edges inside the PC may cut your fingers, so take extra care.
8. Use a PC that complies with the safety standards of your country.
