IPLEX MX R series
Attaching or detaching the side view mirror adapter
If the side view mirror adapter cannot be attached or detached

because its nut will not turn, stop using the equipment and
contact Olympus.
The side view mirror adapter is a precision instrument using
glass mirrors in the optics. Be careful not to drop it or apply a
strong impact to it.
The mirror surface of the side viewing mirror adapter is an
optical component. It is susceptible to stains and scratches.
Do not attempt to insert the scope into the side view mirror
adapter by force. Otherwise, it would become impossible to
withdraw the scope later.
If the side view mirror adapter cannot be clamped completely
by tightening the nut, the threads may be contaminated. Apply
the provided cleaning fluid on the inner side of the nut of the
side view mirror adapter and turn the nut. This will clean the
threads and makes it possible to clamp the side view mirror
adapter completely.
If the threads are extremely dirty or the claw inside the side
view mirror adapter is contaminated, remove the nut from the
side view mirror adapter and clean it.
1. When inserting the side view mirror adapter into the scopes distal
end, set the nut so that the green index is visible entirely (see Figure
3.12).
Gently insert the side view mirror adapter into the scopes distal end and push in the adapter until the claw inside it is
engaged with the clamping groove on the scope's distal end.
If insertion is impossible, turn the side view mirror adapter so
that its mirror rotates and confirm secure fitting. The side view
mirror adapter should be turned clockwise until the first
threaded section of the nut goes beyond the connection screw
section (see Figure 3.12).

2. Slowly insert the side view mirror adapter into the scope distal end
and push in till the claw inside the side view mirror adapter is
engaged with the claw on the scope distal end (this determines the
rotation direction). If the side view mirror adapter cannot be inserted,
rotate it so that its mirror turns and ensure that it is fit properly. Rotate
until the first threaded section of the nut goes beyond the connection
screw (see Figure 3.13).
Figure 3.13
3. After the first threaded section has gone beyond the connection
screw, rotate the side view mirror adapter while lightly pushing it, and
confirm that the rotation is stopped by engagement of the claw inside
the side view mirror adapter in the mirror adapter lock groove on the
scope distal end (see Figure 3.14).
Figure 3.14
4. While pushing the nut of the side view mirror adapter toward the
scope, turn the nut clockwise so that the second threaded section is
engaged with the connection screw. Tighten the nut all the way until
it is stopped (see Figure 3.15).

green LEDs light according to the remaining battery power.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for your battery.
Even when two of the green remaining power indicator LEDs
on the battery are lit, the IPLEX MX R may be shut down automatically when that battery is used. This is the measure performed by the IPLEX MX R to protect the battery against
excessive discharge. It occurs more often when the ambient
temperature drops, but it is not a malfunction. If this happens,
recharge the battery before reusing it.
IPLEX MX R series
The remaining battery power is not displayed during the AC

adapter-powered operation.
When long hours of battery-powered operation are expected
or when using the instrument in a cold weather, it is recommended to prepare charged batteries as spares.
When the battery operation time becomes extremely short, it
is recommended to replace the battery with a brand-new battery.
The MX R main unit is not provided with charging capability. To
charge the battery, use the optional battery charger (JL2PLUS).
4.7 Battery replacement
To prevent electric shock, make sure to set the power switch

to O (OFF) before opening the battery compartment door.
Be careful not to injure yourself with the battery compartment

door during the battery replacement.
Never use a battery other than the one designated by Olympus. Otherwise, failure of the instrument may not only lead to a
malfunction but also a fire.
Be careful not to leave a foreign object in the battery compartment after the battery replacement. Otherwise, a fire or malfunction may result.
Be careful not to drop a battery during replacement.
