SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cable or power cord, make sure that the main switch of the
camera or PC is set to OFF. When connecting a cable or power cord, push in the connector all the way before
pressing the main switch to ON.
2. To avoid electric shock or equipment failure, never connect or disconnect a cable while the main switch is set to
ON.
3. If the main switch of the camera is turned OFF using DP26, PC the application may malfunction. Be sure not to turn
OFF the switch during using DP26.
4. Always use the AC adapter provided by Olympus. Using a similar but non-Olympus AC adapter does not only allow
the camera to manifest its full performance but may also cause an equipment failure as well as a burn or fire hazard
due to abnormal heating. Never use such an AC adapter.
5. The cords and cables are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply excessive force to them. Also distribute the cords
and cables away from a heat-generating part such as the lamp housing of the microscope.
6. 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.
7. The camera head generates heat after they have been used for a long period of time. To avoid moderate
temperature burn, do not leave these parts in extended contact with your skin.
8. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding terminals of the power supply and wall outlet
are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded properly, Olympus can not warrant the electrical safety
performance of the equipment.
9. Sharp edges inside the computer may cut your fingers, so take extra care.
10. Do not permit tools or metal fragments to get into air vents, or other apertures. Doing so could cause failure of the
microscope digital camera DP26 or electric shock to the user.
