Olimpus IPLEX RT Operation Manual page 10

• When hanging the main unit from your neck by the shoulder strap, do not allow it to catch on other objects. Be careful that it does
not choke you.
• Do not allow metal or other foreign objects to enter the main unit through connectors or any other openings.
Otherwise, a malfunction or electric shock may result.
• Do not use the parts other than the insertion tube in water or clean them under running water.
Water creates the risk of electric shock. The parts other than the insertion tube are designed for water resistant proof construc-
tion only if the battery cover and connector caps are closed completely. Do not use or store the instrument under the environment
where it is submerged or wet.
• Do not expose the LCD monitor to strong impact, strong pressure, or to scratching by a hard or pointed object.
Otherwise, the LCD monitor might be cracked or scratched, or a damaged monitor could create the risk of personal injury.
• Be careful to not pinch your hand or anything else when lowering the handle.
• Never connect any other USB device or USB cable to the USB connector except for the USB flash drive provided as standard or
USB Flash Drive recommended by Olympus.
• Do not remove the battery or AC adapter while the system is running.
Otherwise, recorded data may be damaged.
• Do not remove the USB flash drive while recording or replaying the image.
Otherwise, recorded data may be damaged or lost.
CAUTION
• Do not continue to use the instrument when it is wet with condensation.
Sudden temperatures changes such as those that occur when entering a warm room from the outside cold can cause condensa-
tion to form inside the instrument. Using the instrument while it is wet with condensation can cause malfunction. If condensation
forms, leave the instrument in the environment where it is to be used and allow the condensation to dry before using it.
• Do not cover the main unit with a plastic bag or other object during use.
If the inside of the instrument cannot be cooled, the instrument damage may result.
• Do not allow any liquids other than water, saltwater, machine oil, or diesel oil come into contact with the insertion tube.
Otherwise, the insertion tube may be damaged.
• Be sure to attach the O-ring to the insertion tube's distal end before using the optical adapter.
Water getting into the area where the insertion tube and optical adapter join might cause malfunction or damage. Also note that an
optical adapter by itself is not watertight.
• If an optical adapter cannot be mounted or removed because the nut will not turn, stop using it.
Contact Olympus.
• Never use the instrument while dirt or water is present in the optical adapter
Water tightness between the optical adapter and the distal end may be lost, or the optical adapter or the distal end may be dam-
aged.
• Do not clean the optical adapter under running water.
Otherwise, the optical adapter might be damaged.
• Do not bend the insertion tube to a radius that is less than its minimum bend radius (20 mm for the 4 mm type, 30 mm for the 6
mm type) whenever operating the angulation section.
• Note the following precautions whenever handing the battery cover, video connector cap, and AC adapter connector cap.
- Do not open or close covers/caps while your hands are wet.
- Do not open or close covers/caps in an area subject to high humidity and/or dust.
- Close covers/caps before storing the instrument and when they are not in use.
• Note the following precautions whenever removing the instrument from its carrying case.
- Do not apply undue force when pulling the insertion tube from the slot in the cushion.
- When removing the control unit or the main unit, do not lift it up by the universal cable or the insertion tube.
Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.
