Notes on handling the product

1. Handle with care
This product is a precision optical instrument. Avoid subjecting it to sudden impact and shocks.
Even relatively minor impacts are capable of affecting the precision of the objective.
2. Weak electromagnetic waves
The product emits weak electromagnetic waves. Do not install the product near precision electronic
devices to avoid degrading their performance. If a TV or radio reception is affected, move the TV or radio
farther from the product.
3. Dirt on the lens
Scratches or fouling such as fingerprints on optical components (such as lenses and filters) will degrade
microscope images.
If these parts become dirty, clean them as described in "7. Care and Maintenance" at the end of this
manual.
4. Dirt on the lamp
Never touch the lamp with bare hands. Dirt or fingerprints on the lamp will result in uneven illumination
and reduce the service life of the lamp. Always wear gloves when handling lamps.
5. Installation location
This product is a precision 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 a vibration-free location. Install the product on a level surface.
• Install the product at least 10 cm away from walls.
• Choose a location less exposed to hazards in the event of collisions, earthquakes, or other potential
disasters. To keep the product from falling, use strong wire or other means if necessary to secure it
to the working desk or to another heavy, stable item.
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight, locations immediately under room lights, and other bright
locations.
• Select a dust-free location.
• To avoid splashes, do not use the product near water.
• Make sure the ambient temperature is 0 to 40°C and humidity is 85% or less. And, to transport or to
store the product, the ambient temperature must be -20 to 60°C and humidity is 90% or less (with
no condensation). Using or storing the product in hot, humid locations may result in mold formation
or condensation on lenses, performance degradation, or malfunction.
• Do not install the product in a locker or cabinet.
• Select a layout that allows easy removal of the power cord from the product's AC inlet in the event of
an emergency.
• Room lights just above the product may enter the objective as extraneous light. If possible, switch
off room lights directly above the product when making observations.
• Do not use on a desk mat or the like.
