Illumination light precautions
This product is equipped with high intensity illumination in order to obtain sufficient brightness for observ-
ing the inspection object. When the illumination of this product is turned ON, the intense light comes out
from the distal end of the insertion tube of the scope unit. Comply strictly with the precautions described
below when using this product.
• Turn OFF the illumination if not necessary. Please refer to the "6. Turning on power" on page 4 for how to turn
off the illumination.
If the illumination light enters your eyes, your eyes may get injured. If you see the illumination light for a long
time even though it is at the edge of your field of view, your eyes may get injured.
If there is any possibility that the illumination light enters human eyes, turn OFF the illumination if not neces-
sary.
In particular, be careful the illumination turns ON automatically in the following cases.
-
When you turn ON the power while the optical adapter is attached.
-
When you attach the optical adapter while the power is turned ON.
• Do not see the illumination light.
Otherwise, your eyes may get injured. If you see the illumination light for a long time even though seeing it
diagonally or from the side, your eyes may get injured.
• Do not see the light reflected from the illumination light.
The light reflected from the illumination light may be collected depending on the shape of the reflection
surface. If such reflected light enters your eyes, your eyes may get injured.
• If there are people around you, call attention according to the precautions described in this page.
People around you may get eye injury.
• Do not leave the distal end of the insertion tube keeping its illumination turned ON near the flammable sub-
stances for a long time.
Otherwise, fire may result.
