The EPOCH 6LT AC adaptor (P/N: EP-MCA-x) is designed to power the EPOCH 6LT and charge the
batteries only (P/N: BATT-10025-0024 [Q760001]). Do not attempt to power or charge other electronic
equipment with the EP-MCA AC adaptor as doing so could create an explosion resulting in serious
personal injury. The EP-MCA AC adaptor is intended for indoor use only.
Do not insert any other type of battery into the battery compartment or use any other type of AC
adaptor. Doing so might cause an explosion or injury.
If an unauthorized power supply cord is used to power the instrument or charge the battery, Olympus
cannot guarantee the electrical safety of the equipment.
Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery
The EPOCH 6LT charges the internal battery while it is connected to the AC adaptor.
The battery is not fully charged when the EPOCH 6LT is shipped. You must charge the battery for two
to three hours before using battery power to operate the instrument.

Battery Precautions
• Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and follow them
accordingly.
• Transportation of lithium-ion batteries is regulated by the United Nations under the United
Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is expected that
governments, intergovernmental organizations, and other international organizations shall
conform to the principles laid down in these regulations, thus contributing to worldwide
harmonization in this field. These international organizations include the International Civil
Aviation organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the
International Maritime Organization (IMO), the US Department of Transportation (USDOT),
Transport Canada (TC), and others. Please contact the transporter and confirm current
regulations before transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
• For California (USA) only:
The CR battery contains perchlorate material, and special handling may be required. Refer to
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
• Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of extreme heat.
Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an explosion or personal injury.
Tab
CAUTION

EPOCH 6LT — Getting Started Guide EN-5
• Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell contents, which
are corrosive and explosive.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit could cause injury and severe damage
to a battery making it unusable.
• Do not expose a battery to moisture or rain; doing so could cause an electric shock.
• Only use the EPOCH 6LT or an external charger approved by Olympus to charge the batteries.
• Only use batteries supplied by Olympus.
• Do not store batteries that have less than 40 % remaining charge. Recharge batteries to between
40 % and 80 % capacity before storing them.
• During storage, keep the battery charge between 40 % and 80 %.
• Do not leave batteries in the EPOCH 6LT unit during instrument storage.
Electrical Warnings
The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the type indicated on the

If an unauthorized power supply cord is used to power the instrument, Olympus cannot guarantee
the electrical safety of the equipment.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the inner conductor of the LEMO connectors. Up to
400 V can be present on the inner conductor. The warning symbol between the LEMO connectors and
