Preface
Usage environment
Use the unit in an environment that conforms to the specification on the usage
environment.
Refer to 2.3 Product specification for the usage environment conditions.
How to carry
For how to carry the unit, refer to 3.1 To transfer and install the main unit.
How to clean
For how to clean the unit, refer to 5.2 (2) Cleaning.
About the lamp house
Though heavily dependent on the usage conditions (ambient temperature and
humidity, supply voltage, period of lighting, etc.), the useful life of the lighting device
(lamp house) * assumes either short one of for approximately eight years䠄In the case
of the use of approximately eight hours a day䠅or approximately 20,000 hours .
*The above statement does not guarantee freedom from failures or repair at no 㻌
charge during the service life.
* Depending on the usage conditions, there is a possibility of aging degradation in a
shorter period.
Inspect the lamp house according to Appendix: Checklist for inspection of the
lighting device (lamp house) until the lamp house reaches the end of its useful life.
Should any unexpected incident occur (e.g., smoke) during use, turn off the power
immediately and contact the sales representative where you purchased the unit or our
sales department. Regular inspection is recommended, in order to achieve safe use
and reduce downtime.
About the reference sample
The reference data once a year is recommended to be updated because 45reference
sample and the high reflection reference sample give the mirror court. Please contact
the shop or our business window of store purchased when you update it.
About the personal computer (hereinafter "computer")
We (Olympus) will take no responsibility for any and all damage arising out of the use
or malfunction of the unit, including, but not limited to, any damage to the data stored
in your personal computer(s). Please make a backup copy of your computer system
and keep it in a safe place. (Olympus does not provide any backup support.)
We assure the quality of the unit when it is shipped from our factory. No malfunction
or disability due to any change in the environment settings of the computer (e.g., any
change in the BIOS) or the installation of other applications, are covered by the
quality assurance of Olympus.
When there is only a small amount of free space in the computer’s hard disk drive
this may make the data processing take longer or even cause errors. Delete
unneeded data files regularly. For how to delete data files, refer to the operating
system manual.
NEVER delete or rename any folders already included on the hard disk drive of the
computer in the configuration at shipment. Otherwise, the software may become no
longer usable.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit!
Disassembly or modifying the unit for a reason other than replacement of
consumables may cause fire, electric shock hazard or injury. If an
abnormality occurs, such as unusual odor or noise, immediately turn off the
power, remove the power plug from the wall outlet, and contact our sales
representatives or our sales department for repair. For your own safety,
never attempt to perform repairs on your own.
Do not cover the vents!
There are vents for heat dissipation on the front and the side of the
photometric head.
Be careful not to cover the vents.
Install the unit at least 10 cm away from a wall!
Since the lamp house gets hot when the lamp is illuminated, place the unit
at a point at least 10 cm away from any walls. Operating the unit near a wall
may cause fire.
Do not touch the lamp house or put anything on it!
