Attach U-LLGAD to the illuminator.
Tighten the clamping screw Eof the illuminator using the Allen
screwdriver provided with the microscope.
Do not turn ON the lamp while U-LGPS is not attached to
the microscope using U-LLG150/U-LLG300 and U-LLGAD.
The light from this lamp contains the UV light. Looking
directly at the light may damage your eyes. Also, it could
cause a fire.
U-LLG150/U-LLG300 and power cords are vulnerable to
bending and twisting. Be careful not to apply excessive
force.

screwdriver provided with the microscope.
If the clamping screws B C are not fully loosened, the tip
of the emission side connector Dcontacts the clamping
screws B C and the emission side connector may not be
inserted to the correct position.
Insert the emission side connector Dof U-LLG150/U-LLG300
completely to the end of the liquid light guide insertion port of
U-LLGAD.
Tighten the clamping screws Bfirmly using the Allen screwdriver
provided with the microscope.
Pull the emission side connector Dtoward you to make sure
that it does not come out.
Tighten the clamping screws Cfirmly using the Allen screwdriver
provided with the microscope.
