To calibrate the screen (sensitivity calibration) on the Olympus OmniScan MX2:
1. Ensure the calibration target fits completely within the display window. 2. Use a proper couplant and maintain consistent pressure to avoid amplitude variation. 3. Press the "Calibrate" button repeatedly. 4. Move the probe over the calibration block as instructed. 5. The system adjusts all focal laws to 80% amplitude. 6. Any focal laws over 100% amplitude are saturated and cannot be corrected. 7. Calibration is successful when all A-scans fall within the acceptable tolerance in the window.
Make sure the scan angular range is correct and focusing is appropriate if needed.

The system starts up and performs a memory check. If there is more than one application installed on your instrument, each application will be displayed on one of the buttons appearing on the OmniScan MX2 touch screen. Choose the desired inspection application by tapping the appropriate menu on the touch screen.
(for details, see “Power Indicator Light” in section 1.1.6 on page 24). To turn off the OmniScan MX2 Quickly press the Power key. The “Select a command” message appears (see Figure 2-3 on page 33).
DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 You can also turn off the OmniScan MX2 by pressing and holding the Power key for ten seconds. However, your setup will NOT be saved. Sleep Mode The OmniScan MX2 can be put into sleep mode when not in use to conserve power.
Connect the AC power cord to the DC power adaptor (P/N: OMNI-A-AC [U8767093]) and to an appropriate power outlet. Use only the AC power cord supplied with the OmniScan MX2. Do not use this AC power cord with other products.
When both batteries are at the same charge level, the Omniscan MX2 operates using both batteries at the same time. This increases battery life by about 10 % compared to using each battery individually.
The charge indicator (bar) on the battery status indicator shows the approximate amount of remaining power in the battery. If you attempt to start the OmniScan MX2 using batteries with an insufficient charge, the power indicator light will flash red for approximately three seconds. To operate the OmniScan MX2, replace the batteries or plug in the DC power adaptor.
Each battery status indicator displays the amount of time needed to discharge the corresponding battery. The OmniScan MX2 software informs the user of the remaining power status. The battery status indicator variations are described in Table 7 on page 37.
Close the battery compartment door. The batteries are recharged inside the OmniScan MX2 when it is connected to a DC power adaptor. Connecting an adaptor automatically starts the recharging process. The batteries can also be recharged using an optional external charger.
“New battery procedure” on page 40. If you do not plan to use the OmniScan MX2 on battery power within three or more weeks, charge the batteries to between 40 % and 80 % capacity (three or four bars on the battery charge indicator), and then remove and store the batteries in a clean, cool, and dry place.
DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 Even when the OmniScan MX2 is turned off and unplugged, it draws a small amount of power from the battery, which could completely discharge the batteries in about 15 days. Because lithium-ion batteries self-discharge over time, remember to check the remaining charge of any stored batteries approximately once a month to ensure that they have 40 % to 80 % remaining capacity, and recharge any that do not.
Do not expose a battery to moisture or rain; doing so could cause an electric shock. • Only use the OmniScan MX2 or an external charger approved by Olympus to charge the batteries. • Do not recharge a battery unless the indicators light up when the capacity check button on the battery is pressed.

DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 9. Maintenance This chapter describes the basic maintenance that must be performed on the OmniScan MX unit by operators. The maintenance operations explained below enable you to keep your instrument in good physical and working condition. By virtue of its design, the OmniScan MX only requires minimal maintenance.
DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 Make sure that the battery compartment door is closed correctly, and that an acquisition module has been installed on the OmniScan MX. To restore the instrument’s original finish, clean the casing and module with a soft cloth.
OmniScan MX unit. This troubleshooting guide has been prepared based on the assumption that the instrument has not been modified, and that all cables and connectors used are those provided and documented by Olympus. 10.1 Start-Up Problems The OmniScan MX does not start.
Possible solutions: • Make sure that the battery model used in the OmniScan MX is compatible with the model suggested by Olympus. An incompatible battery may be able to power the unit, but the recharge protocol may not recognize it. •...
Make sure that there is enough space left on the memory card to store the data you are trying to save. Olympus provides memory cards with various storage capacities. You may require a memory card with a larger storage capacity.
DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 • Make sure your data is not corrupted. Several factors can cause data corruption. The most common factors are incomplete data transfer, electrostatic discharges, and removal of the memory card while the OmniScan MX is active. Oftentimes, the only way to fix the problem is to delete the problem file(s), or to reformat the memory card.
9 from the video connector. While the OmniScan MX meets this requirement, some monitors do not. If pin 9 has not been removed from your monitor connector, you will need to remove it. Olympus is not responsible for any potential damage that may result from pin removal.
Only use external storage devices that adhere to the USB Mass Storage specification. • If a printer is malfunctioning, make sure that it is compatible with the OmniScan MX (for a list of compatible printers, contact your local Olympus representative). 10.11 Boot Problems 10.11.1 A-Scan Display The OmniScan software boots up, but no A-scan is displayed.
DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014 10.11.2 OmniScan MX Start-Up The OmniScan logo is displayed with the BIOS version and an exclamation point (!), but the OmniScan MX fails to start. Possible cause A CompactFlash memory card containing files necessary for the old BIOS version has been used in the OmniScan MX, and the BIOS is in monitor mode.

Need help?
Do you have a question about the OmniScan MX2 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
how do i calibrate the screen? It is off, when I touch something it actually touches about a quarter inch below, pressing the wrong button
To calibrate the screen (sensitivity calibration) on the Olympus OmniScan MX2:
1. Ensure the calibration target fits completely within the display window.
2. Use a proper couplant and maintain consistent pressure to avoid amplitude variation.
3. Press the "Calibrate" button repeatedly.
4. Move the probe over the calibration block as instructed.
5. The system adjusts all focal laws to 80% amplitude.
6. Any focal laws over 100% amplitude are saturated and cannot be corrected.
7. Calibration is successful when all A-scans fall within the acceptable tolerance in the window.
Make sure the scan angular range is correct and focusing is appropriate if needed.
