Symbols Used in Illustrations This symbol identifies a warning (including precautions). The contents of the warning are depicted in the triangle. This symbol identifies a prohibited action. The prohibited action is depicted within or near the circle. A\Warning A ‘The halogen lamp used as the illumination lamp is extremely hot while itis on. When replacing this lamp, be sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cord, and wait 10 minutes or so until the lamp bulb is sufficiently cooled down, Then, replace the lamp with a Nikon-endorsed lamp. If immediate replacement is required, hold the bulb using a thick cloth. Do not insert a foreign substance such as a screwdriver into the flash tube slot. Failure to ‘observe this precaution may result in burn or electric shock. A\Caution A Do not hit or catch patient's fingers. Take care not to hit or catch patient's fingers between the instrument bottom and table top when sliding the main unit forward or laterally with the joystick lever. For safety, instruct the patient to place hands on knees or outside of the chin rest column. Take special care when guid- ing a child or low-vision patient in the dark room.AXCauttion 86 sure 0 ground the instrument proper AXCaution Make sure that the input power voltage A\Caution Install the instrument on a flat surface in a Clean room free from dust and moisture. indicated in the voltage indicator window on the illumination power supply and program ower supply matches the input power source, A\Caution Use extreme caution when handling the Power cord. ‘© Avoid bending the cord near the connec tor plug. © When unplugging the cord, do not grasp it by the cord but grasp the plug. A\Caution Do not use any type of fuses other than Nikon endorsed once. When replacing a fuse, be sure to turn off the POWER switch and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet AXCaution Do not touch the bulb surface of the illumination lamp Do not touch (Halogen lamp) or flash tube with hand. If you inadvertently the glass bulb, ‘touch it or it gets dirty, in which case the dirt may be Scorched by the nat rom tela. Wie ay for dt off Ee x the bulb with alcohol, AXCaution ‘When the instrument is not in use, keep the POWER switch in the OFF position and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Place the attached vinyl cover over the instrument to keep it clean, AXcaution Handle the flash tube gently. Take care not to damage the bulb surface. A\Caution Do not loosen or remove the internal subspring cap. Subspring cap Inadvertent loosening of the cap may cause the built-in & subspring to spring out of the assembly. fAXCaution Never touch the following components as they would affect the instrument's performance: Magnet Electronics board {zoom lens barrel (35mm photographic attachment) Electronics board (Polaroid photographic attachment) AXCaution ‘A magnet is present inside the right-side zoom magnification control lever as shown in the above figure. Keep magnetic cards and other substances that are susceptible to magnetism away from the magnet.CONTENTS 1.

Options (Other than the Camera Attachment) 6-1 Non-contact Endothelium Attachment You can observe and photograph endothelium ces without applanating the patient's cornea by replacing the objective lens with the non-contact endothelium attachment, The valid observation magnification range is from 56.3X to 241.9%. The photographic ‘magnification range is from 7.5X to 32.2X for the 36mm camera and from 15.0X to 64.4% for the Polaroid attachment. 1) Installation (1) Remove the objective lens case from the Rubber band ‘main unit by turning it counterclockwise.

Be sure to focus on the reticle (Page 16) @ After completing the dioptric adjustment, turn the focusing ring on the endothelium attachment so that the surface of the target rod is in focus. (3) Focusing Focusing must be done basically using the joystick lever. For final minute focusing, tun the focusing ring on the endothelium attachment (4) Photographic magnification ‘The appropriate photographic magnification ranges from 7.5X to 32.3X (15X to 64.4% for Polaroid photographing). Judging from the size of endothelium cals, the recommended magnification range is approximately 25% to 32.3% (50X to 64.4 for Polaroid photographing). Use a lower magnification fist, then change to a higher magnification once you find endothelium celts. ate6-2 CCTV Attachment You can record the observed image reaitime by using an extension tube and a CCTV attachment, Ge FS-V can connect to a CCTV using one of four types of mounts: 1/2inch C-mount ieee C-mount, bayonet mounts (for SONY CCTVs and for TOSHIBA CCTVs).
