On-screen Image Check

1
Check the image displayed on the monitor.
WARNING
Check the live image is properly output on the monitor in the right direction.

Automatic Brightness Control Inspection

Check the video images from the endoscope on the monitor while the lamp is lit.
1
Exercise the endoscope's automatic iris. Bring the
tip of the endoscope within 1 cm of the palm of your
hand and move it to about 5 cm away from your palm.
Watch the image displayed on the monitor to ensure
the brightness at both distances is similar. Lift the
distal end of the endoscope close to the room lights,
and check that the light being emitted from the distal
end of the endoscope lowers significantly
(dependent on the ambient light levels in the room).
Return the distal end of the endoscope to a point on
your palm and ensure that the light is being emitted
from the distal end of the endoscope. (Refer to
Figure 4.1.)
 Wear rubber gloves when performing the inspection.
 If items are brought up close to the distal end of the endoscope and left there for a long time, it could cause heat to
be generated by the light being emitted from the distal end of the endoscope.
 If dark-colored gloves are brought close to the distal end of the endoscope, it may cause heat to be generated, which
may result in a burn injury.
NOTE
 It may take more than 10 seconds for the endoscopic image to appear on the monitor.
 If the endoscopic image does not appear on the monitor, turn the power off and then on again.
