Caution - Nikon eclipse lv150 Instruction Manual

CAUTION

1. Handle the system gently
Components of this system are precision optical instruments. Handle them carefully, and do
not subject them to any shocks.
The precision of the objectives in particular can be adversely affected even by weak shocks.
2. Do not wet the microscope
If the microscope gets wet, a short circuit may cause malfunction or abnormal heating of the
microscope. If you accidentally spill water on the microscope, immediately turn off the
power switch (flip it to the " " side) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Then,
wipe away the moisture using a dry cloth or the like. If water gets inside the microscope, do
not use it; instead, notify your nearest Nikon representative.
3. Weak electromagnetic waves
This microscope emits weak electromagnetic waves. The accuracy of any precision
electronic equipment may be adversely affected if positioned too close. If the microscope
affects TV or radio reception, move the radio or TV farther away from the microscope.
4. Installation location
Being a precision optical instrument, the microscope may get damaged or loose accuracy if
it is used or stored under unsuitable conditions. When selecting the installation location,
note the following:
• Avoid a brightly lit location, such as exposed to direct sunlight or directly under a room
light. The image quality deteriorates if there is excessive ambient light.
Always install the microscope with a surrounding clear area of 10 cm or more.
• Choose a location that is free from dust or dirt.
• Choose a flat surface with little vibration.
• Choose a sturdy desk or table that is able to bear the weight of the instrument.
• Do not install the microscope in a hot or humid location.
• Select a layout that allows easy removal of the power cord from the microscope's AC inlet
in the event of an emergency.
• For details about the operating environment and storage environment, see "VIII.
Specifications."
• Take enough space around the microscope referring to the layout diagrams on page 6.
• The microscope may be moved by earthquakes. We recommend taking anti-earthquake
measures.
For details about the anti-earthquake measures, see "15. Countermeasures for
Earthquakes" in "IV. Assembly."
5. Cautions on moving the microscope
• The microscope is a precision optical instrument. Handle it carefully and do not subject it
to a strong physical shock. (In particular, objectives may loose accuracy when exposed to
even a weak physical shock.)
• When moving the microscope, first remove the stage and the lamphouse. Then, securely
hold the microscope by the root of the arm from the back.
(Information) The microscope with the stage, eyepiece tube, lamphouse, and other parts
• Do not hold the focusing knobs, eyepiece tube, lamphouse, sub-stage, etc., when carrying
the microscope. They may come off and may cause serious injury or malfunction.
• Before carrying the stage, attach the fixing metals to hold the movement of the stage plate.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands during transportation.
