CAUTION

1. Handle with care
This product is a precision optical instrument. Handle the microscope system with care to avoid shock on
impact. In particular, objectives may loose accuracy when exposed to even a weak physical shock.
2. Do not wet the microscope
If the product gets wet, a short circuit may cause malfunction or abnormal heating of the microscope. If you
accidentally spill water on the microscope, immediately turn off the power switch (set the switch to the " "
side) and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Then, wipe off the water with a piece of dry cloth. If water
enters a component, immediately suspend use of this product, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and
contact your nearest Nikon representative.
3. Weak electromagnetic waves
The product emits weak electromagnetic waves. The accuracy of any precision electronic equipment may be
adversely affected if positioned too close. To prevent bad influences, locate such electronic equipment away
from the microscope system. If a TV or radio reception is affected, move the TV or radio set farther from the
product.
4. Installation location
This product is a precision optical instrument. The usage or storage in an inappropriate environment may
result in malfunctions or poor performance. Consider the following factors when selecting an installation
location:
• Select an installation location with a temperature from 0 to +40°C and a relative humidity of 85% or less
(there should be no condensation).
Select a storage location with a temperature from -20 to +60°C and a relative humidity of 90% or less
(there should be no condensation).
If installed or stored in a location subject to high temperatures and humidity, mold or condensation may
form on the lens, resulting in lowered performance and possible damage to the microscope.
