•Do not insert the insertion tube into an observation object that is in operation or conducting electricity.
Otherwise the insertion tube may be damaged by being caught inside of the observation object, etc., or the
insertion tube may touch the object, resulting in electric shock.
•Before stowing the instrument in its carrying case, be sure to turn off the power and attach the battery cap.
Leaving the battery loaded during storage can cause it to become hot, causing the risk of fire.
CAUTION
•Do not use this instrument in any environment (including strongly radioactive environments) that does not
conform to the specified operating environment.
Otherwise, unexpected accidents that may damage the insertion tube may result.
•Do not insert the insertion tube into an observation object in an environment that is outside the operating
temperature range.
Continued use may damage or reduce the performance of the instrument.
•Do not touch the distal end immediately after use in a high-temperature environment.
Doing so may cause burn injuries.
•Do not grip the control unit for a prolonged period of time when using the instrument in a high-temperature
environment.
Doing so may result in low-temperature burns. To prevent this, take precautions such as by wearing a pair
of gloves.
•Pay attention not to trip over the power cord or cables of the insertion tube.
•Use only a power cord and AC adapter specified by Olympus.
Doing so may result in fuming, fire, or electric shock.
•Do not use the AC adapter outdoors.
Doing so may result in fuming, fire, or electric shock.
The AC adapter is designed for indoor use.
•Do not subject the AC adapter to strong impact cause by striking it against a wall, dropping it, etc.
Otherwise, malfunction, damage, or electric shock might occur.
•Do not use commercially-sold electronic transformers for overseas travel use (travel converters).
•If abnormality is found during insertion of the insertion tube, do not push it in forcibly. Pull out the insertion
tube carefully.
Pay attention to the following when pulling out the insertion tube.
-Do not bend it forcibly.
-Do not pull out the inspected object when the angulation section is bent.
-If the insertion tube gets caught inside while withdrawing, pull while turning it carefully.
•Pay attention to the following when pulling out the insertion tube.
-Do not hit or pull the distal end.
-Do not squeeze or bend the angulation section with force.
-Do not use the insertion tube if any of the parts are loose.
-
Attach the tip protection hood correctly for use.
If the protection hood is not firmly attached to the distal end of the insertion tube, the entire observation image or
a part of it may appear whitish due to the illumination, or a part of the angle of view may not be visible. Also, the
protection hood may fall off into the inspected object.
•Do not look directly into the light emitted from the distal end.
Doing so may hurt your eyes.

•Fluid leaking from the battery can cause loss of sight if it gets into your eyes. Flush your eyes with tap
water or other clean water without rubbing. Contact a physician immediately.
WARNING
•Do not cover the battery charger with clothing, bedding, or other material while charging.
•After charging is complete, always be sure to unplug the AC power cord of the charger from the electrical
outlet.
•At the first sign of heat generation, abnormal odor, abnormal noise, smoke, or any other abnormality during
charging, immediately unplug the battery charger and stop using it.
Contact Olympus.
•If the battery charger cannot complete battery charging in the specified recharging time, stop trying to
recharge the battery.
•Do not use a battery if it shows any irregularity such as fluid leak, discoloration, deformation or other
abnormality.
Immediately request servicing.
•Should the battery fluid get onto your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with tap water or other clean
water.
Otherwise, a skin injury may result. Contact a physician for treatment if necessary.
•Do not allow the battery compartment to become deformed and never put any foreign object into it.
•Do not allow metal or water, or any other fluid to get into the battery compartment or onto the battery
terminals.
Should any foreign object enter the main unit, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter, and
immediately contact Olympus.
•Do not remove the battery as soon as possible after using the instrument for a long time.
Heat generated by the battery creates the risk of burn injury.
•Do not leave the battery in a location subject to moisture, water leak or extremely high or low
temperatures.
•Do not touch the battery terminals while your hands are wet.
•If the instrument is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the battery from the main unit,
attach the battery cap, and store it in a place with a low level of humidity.
Otherwise, battery fluid leak and heat build-up may result in a fire or injury.
•Keep the battery out of the reach of small children.

12
CAUTION
•If you are experiencing problems loading the battery, do not try to force it in.
Check the orientation of the battery and check the terminals for abnormalities. Trying to force the battery
into the compartment may cause malfunction.
•If you are having problems removing the battery from the instrument, do not apply undue force.
Contact Olympus.

•When disposing of a battery, be sure to do so in accordance with all local laws, rules, and regulations.
NOTE
•Be sure to recharge the battery before using it for the first time after purchase or after it has not been used
for a long period.
•In general, the battery performance drops as the ambient temperature drops. Note that the battery
performance degraded due to low temperatures recovers when the temperature rises to a normal level.
•Contamination of battery electrodes with sweat or oil will cause contact failures. When the battery is dirty,
wipe it clean with a dry cloth before use.
•When the battery is fully charged, you can use this instrument continuously up to 120 minutes or more
(reference value when using a new battery). Actual operating time depends on the charging method, the
operating environment, and the instrument's settings. Preparation of multiple spare batteries is
recommended when long hours of battery-powered operation are expected. The estimated charging time
is approximately 130 minutes.
•Recommended temperature range for Li-ion battery operation.
-Discharging (using main unit) : -10°C to 40°C
-Charging : 0°C to 40°C
-Storage : -20°C to 40°C
Using the battery under a temperature outside the above temperature ranges will result in degradation of its
performance and service life. When storing the battery, be sure to remove it from the main unit.
