Instructions on use

Intended use

The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes are optical instrument which use magnification and illumination to improve the visibility of objects. It is used for observing and documenting.

The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes may be used only in closed rooms and must be placed on a solid floor.

The Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscopes can be used in clean rooms without any problems.

•Position the Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope so that it can be

disconnected from the power supply at any time. The power cord must remain accessible at all times, because the power supply is foreseen as mains disconnecting device.

Place of use

Only use the instruments in closed, dust free rooms and between +10  °C and +40  °C. Protect the devices from oil, chemicals and extreme humidity. If using the devices outdoors, protect them from dust and moisture. Never use electri- cal devices outdoors. Install electrical devices at least 10 cm from the wall and away from flam- mable substances.

Avoid large temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight and vibrations. These conditions can distort measurements and micrographic images.

In warm and warm-damp climatic zones, the individual components require special care in order to prevent the build-up of

fungus.

Non-intended use

•Using the instrument in any way contrary to the specifications in the user

manual can lead to bodily harm and damage to objects. Doing so can impair the functions of the protective measures provided.

Never install any other plug (NEMA 5-15P) or unscrew any mechanical components unless expressly instructed to do

so in the instructions.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

The devices and accessories described in this operating manual have been tested

for safety and potential hazards.
