Introduction

The following symbols are used in this instruction manual.

CAUTION : Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

NOTE

: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in

damage to the product or other property.

TIP

: Indicates the useful knowledge or information for use.

This product is used for a reflected light fluorescence observation in combination with the biological

microscope CX43.

Safety precautions

CAUTION - Electric safety -

Always use the AC adapter and power cord provided by Olympus.

If the proper AC adapter and the power cord are not used, the electric safety and the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compat-

ibility) performance of the product cannot be assured. If no power cord is provided, please select the proper power

cord by referring to the section “Proper selection of the power cord” at the end of this instruction manual.

Always connect the ground terminal.

Check that the ground terminal of the power cord and that of the power outlet are connected properly. If the product is

not grounded, our intended electric safety and EMC performance of the product cannot be assured.

Do not use this product near the sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.

Proper operation may be interfered. Be sure to evaluate the electromagnetic environment before operating the product.

Disconnect the power cord in case of emergency.

In case of emergency, disconnect the power cord from the power cord connector of the product or from the power

outlet.

Install the product at the location where you can reach the power cord connector or the power outlet with your hand to

disconnect the power cord immediately.

This product complies with the emission and immunity requirements described in IEC61326 series.

CX43-RFAB

CAUTION - LED (light emitting diode) -

Do not look directly at the light from LED for a long time.

If you feel that the light from LED is too bright during observation, adjust the light intensity using the brightness adjustment

knob before continuing the observation. The LED built in this product is basically eye-safe. However, do not look directly

at the light from LED for a long time while feeling too bright, since it may cause damage to your eyes.

CAUTION - Light from the objective -

Do not look directly at the light coming out from the objective or the light reflected from the specimen.

Be careful about the light coming out from the objective, since not only visible light but also light of invisible wavelengths

(such as ultraviolet and infrared) may be emitted depending on the illumination methods.

CAUTION - Safety symbols -

The following symbols are attached to the product.

Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the product in the safest possible manner.

Symbol Meaning

Indicates a non-specific general hazard. Follow the description given after this symbol

or in the instruction manual.

Indicates that the main switch is ON.

Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

Handling precautions

· This product is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or

severe impact.

· Never disassemble any part of the product. Otherwise, failure could be caused.

· Do not carry the microscope keeping the AC adapter connected to the microscope. The AC adapter or

the microscope may be damaged by hitting the output connector of the AC adapter.

NOTE

CX43-RFAB

Maintenance and storage

1. Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses and filters. If they get dirty, blow away dust with a commercially avail-

able blower and gently wipe the lens or filter with a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze). Only when cleaning

fingerprints and oil stains, slightly moisten a piece of cleaning paper with commercially available absolute alcohol

and wipe them off with it.

Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it away

from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks. For example, the electrical equipment that

is switched ON and OFF may cause the ignition of a fire. Also, always use absolute alcohol only in a

well-ventilated room.

2. Wipe the portions other than the lens with a dry soft cloth. If the dirt cannot be removed by dry-wiping, moisten a soft

cloth with diluted neutral detergent and wipe the dirty surface with it.

Do not use organic solvents because they may deteriorate the coated surface or plastic parts.

3. When disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government. Contact Olympus

for any questions.
