Use Instructions

Follow the safety precautions at all times during operation and maintenance of this
product. Non-observance may result in eye injury or damage to the system.
CAUTION
Risk of injury to the eyes
Do not look at operating lamp/LED as it can emit UV light.
Never look into the light emitting end of the light guide. The light could
severely damage the eye if the light is observed directly.
Always make sure the liquid light guide and X-Cite adapter are securely attached
to the VS200 system. This will minimize the risk of exposure to the UV light.
If the light source has a malfunction please contact Olympus or Excelitas cus-
tomer support. If the light source is serviced always make sure that the power
cord is disconnected.
Place the unit onto a hard, stable surface and make sure the ventilation openings
are not covered by something.
1. Unbox the LED light source and avoid bending or stretching of the liquid
light guide.
2. Mount the light guide into the X-Cite adapter and tighten the knurled
head screw.
