Safety precautions
If the product is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition, the
product may also be damaged. Always use the product according to this instruction manual.
Electric safety
·Always use the power cord provided by Olympus.
If the proper AC adapter and the power cord are not used, the electric safety and the EMC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) performance of the product cannot be assured. If no power cord is provided, please select the
proper power cord by referring to the section “Proper selection of the power cord” at the end of this instruction
manual.
·Always connect the ground terminal.
Make sure that the ground terminal of the power cord and that of the power outlet are connected properly.
If the product is not grounded, our intended electric safety and EMC performance of the product cannot be
assured.
·Do not use the product in close proximity to the sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.
Proper operation may be interfered. The electromagnetic environment should be evaluated prior to operation
of the product.
·Disconnect the power cord in case of emergency.
In case of emergency, disconnect the power cord from the power cord connector on the product or from the
power outlet.
Install the product at the location where you can reach the power cord connector or the power outlet at hand
to disconnect the power cord quickly.
·Do not connect or disconnect the power cord, cables and products (optional) while the power is on.
CAUTION
Installation
·Do not block the air vents.
・ Do not install the product on a table or bench which has soft surface, as the product may sink and the air
vents of the bottom surface may be blocked, which creates a fire hazard.
・ Do not to block the air vents on the back of the product. Secure the space of 10 cm or more around the
air vents.
·Install the product on a level table or bench.
WARNING
CAUTION
Prevention of electric shock
·Never disassemble each part of this product.
It could cause electric shock or failure of the product.
·Do not touch the product with wet hands.
In particular, if you touch the main switch of the power unit or the power cord with wet hands, electric shock,
ignition or failure of the product may be caused.
·Do not bend, pull or tie the power cord/cables in a bundle.
Otherwise they could be damaged, causing a fire or an electric shock.
·Never insert any tools or metal fragments in the air vents of the product.
As this product contains the cooling fan, if you insert metal fragments or similar, the fan may be damaged or
fire may be caused.
WARNING

LED
This product emits high-intensity visible light. Because light-absorbing materials have the physical property
of converting incident light into heat, damage can arise to heat-sensitive or flammable light-absorbing
materials. To avoid such thermal damage and the potential danger of fire or burns, please obey the following
instructions:
·Never cover up the light guide socket or light guide exit (danger of fire).
·Never cover up the open light guide socket or light guide exit with your hands or other parts of the body
(danger of burns).
Do not look at the LED light directly.
LG-LSLED is classified as Risk Group 2 regulated by IEC62471 “Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp
Systems”.
Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product.
Do not stare at operating lamp. May be harmful to eyes.
WARNING
CAUTION
·When turning ON the LED unit, do not cover the hole of the light guide socket of LG-LSLED or the distal
end of the light guide. Otherwise, it may cause fire or burns.
·If there is a light guide that is not illuminating the sample when turning ON the LED unit, be sure to
secure the space of 10 cm or more between the flammable light-absorbing materials and the distal end
of such light guide. Otherwise, it may cause fire or burns.
·When illuminating heat-sensitive or flammable light-absorbing objects, special care must be taken
to ensure that an appropriate suitable distance between light guide and object, and a suitable lamp
brightness level are selected so that no thermal damage occurs.
·Be careful, the distal end of the incident fiber of light guide and the portions connected with the light
guide socket are very hot during use or immediately after use.
·In order to prevent breaking the fiber in the light guide (reduction of light intensity), do not bend the light
guide forcibly.
·If you bend the light guide, twist it as little as possible. The lifetime of the light guide may become shorter.
·When using the dual light guide LG-DI or LG-DFI, the twist of the light guide may be loosened and it may
be bent spontaneously when determining the illumination position.
You can prevent the light guide from bending spontaneously by twisting the
light guide in the arrow direction shown in the picture. However, do not twist
the light guide too firmly.

Handling precautions
·This product is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or
severe impact.
·Never disassemble any part of the product. Otherwise, failure could be caused.
·Do not use the product in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and/or
humidity, dust or vibrations.
(For conditions of operating environments, see “5 Specifications” (P.13).)
·For products (option) attachable to this product, see “1 System diagram” (P.8).
The use of this product in combination with other separately available items not only creates the risk
of abnormal operation, but it also may damage the product.
· The power cord is for exclusive use of this product. Do not use it with other product.
· Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.

Lifetime
The lifetime of this product is approximately 8 years after purchase if the product is used properly according to this
instruction manual. (except consumables)
Maintenance and storage
Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses and filters. If they get dirty, blow away dust with a
commercially available blower and gently wipe the lens or filter with a piece of cleaning paper (or clean
gauze).
Only when cleaning fingerprints and oil stains, slightly moisten a piece of cleaning paper with commercially
available absolute alcohol and wipe them off with it.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it away
from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks. For example, the electrical equipment that
is switched ON and OFF may cause the ignition of a fire. Also, always use absolute alcohol only in a
well-ventilated room.
Wipe the portions other than the lens with a dry soft cloth. If the dirt cannot be removed by dry-wiping,
moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent and wipe the dirty surface with it.
Do not use organic solvents because they may deteriorate the coated surface or plastic parts.
As the cooling fan is used with this product, the dust may pile up when using the product for a long time.
Clean the product on a regular basis.
