1.7.3 Precautions and safety information
Read the following safety information carefully before installation and use:
•These instructions are part of the device and must be kept throughout the
entire service life of the product.
•Keep these instructions available for reference and pass them on to the next
user of the device.
•Observe the practically-oriented safety instructions in the relevant sections.
•Only use the colposcope with Leisegang stands and Leisegang accessories.
•Dirt and dust can impair the functionality of the device. Therefore protect the
device when not in use with the dust protection cover supplied. Before
covering the device, check that it is switched off.
•There is a risk of crushing when adjusting the height of the colposcope head
and swing-o-matic stand. Therefore, observe the safety instructions in the
relevant sections.
•The connector tube of the colposcope must always be inserted at least 20 cm
in the stand frame in order to ensure stability.
•Waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be discarded with
household rubbish. Dispose of your old equipment in accordance with national
requirements for separate disposal of waste or return your old device either to
your supplier or Leisegang Feinmechanik-Optik GmbH.
•The device may only be operated in dry rooms without spray water.
•The device must not be operated in an oxygen-saturated environment.
•Set-up the device in a stable position.
•Do not roll the device over cables and tubes on the floor.
•Do not hang any additional objects on the device that are not expressly
intended for this purpose.
•Do not lean against the device.
•Do not cover the cooling slots of the power supply or the cooling slots of the
LED light source. This can cause overheating and damage to the device.
•Position the device in a way to allow easy access to the mains cable.
•Only pull the mains cable from the socket at the plug.
•Never remove the ferrite beads from the USB cables, since this may cause
electromagnetic interference.
•Do not operate power supplies, mains cables, lamp cables or mains plugs with
mechanical damage. Defective parts must be replaced by qualified, authorised
specialist personnel. Contact your supplier in this regard.
•Do not undertake any modifications, as otherwise safe operation of the device
is not guaranteed and all guarantee and warranty claims towards Leisegang
Feinmechanik-Optik GmbH are void.
•Always unplug the device before changing the fuse and before cleaning the device.
•The power supply is not drip or splash-proof. The ingress of water results in an
electric shock. For this reason, when cleaning the device ensure that no dripping
water comes into contact with it. No infusion devices, e.g. infusion bags, bottles
and lines may be installed above the colposcope that entail a risk of dripping.
