Exposure Control Switch You can select from two exposure control methods for adjusting the brightness of images appearing on the monitor. [AUTO]: The brightness is adjusted automatically so that the brightness set with the brightness adjustment switch is uniform across the monitor. [MANUAL]: The brightness set with the brightness adjustment switch is output as is without any adjustments being made.

NOTE Should debris on the objective lens be difficult to clean, one can temporarily use a higher pump level setting on the video processor or light source. While doing so, simultaneously activate the air and suction control valves to minimize air insufflation. After the lens has been cleared return the air pressure to its original setting for routine use.

RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the EPK-p is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the EPK-p should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary such as reorienting or relocating the EPK-p.

RF communications equipment and the EPK-p The EPK-p is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the EPK-p can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the EPK-p as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
