[Important] Preventive Inspection Sheet for Illumination Devices

Study the instruction manual as well before inspection.

We recommend performing "Preventive Inspections" periodically (every time you replace lamps and at least once every 6 months).
The table below identifies the check items to be observed. Put (X) if not applicable or (✓) if applicable.
If there are any check marks (✓) noted, immediately stop use of the product and seek service or replacement for the illumination device(s) for prevention.
If you detect an abnormality other than that listed below with your illumination device or other Olympus product, request inspection from your Olympus distributor.

If you have any questions, please contact the following.
