processor. Replace the lamp cartridge if one red circle on the LIFE indicator is lit red and a message prompting you
to replace the lamp is displayed on the monitor. The lamp life may not be as long as 500 hours depending on the

Check that the main lamp of the processor illuminates, and the distal end of the endoscope emits light.
WARNING
 Do not look directly at the light emitted from the distal end of the endoscope. Doing so can cause eye injury.
 Do not open the lamp housing cover to avoid electric shock.
NOTE
 If the lamp fails to illuminate, stop the inspection and contact a PENTAX Medical service facility.
 If a PENTAX Medical video endoscope or video module that is not compatible with the processor is connected,
endoscopic images will not be displayed.
 The auxiliary lamp is for the purpose of ensuring that you can see what you are doing while removing the endoscope
in the event of the main lamp fails during a procedure. If this occurs, release the angulation of the endoscope, remove
the endoscope from the patient's body cavity, and stop the examination. Do not perform a procedure using the
auxiliary lamp.
