Prohibited Be sure to turn off the power when not in use For safety reasons, be sure to turn off the power of all the devices when the CR-2 is not being used. Also, unplug the power plug from the AC outlet and put on the cover when the CR-2 is not going to be used for a long time.
• Do not wipe the lens with ethanol solution, eyeglass cleaner, or silicone-coated paper. Doing so could corrode the surface of the lens or leave streaks. • Do not clean the outside of the CR-2 with lens cleaner. Doing so could damage the outside of the CR-2.
Page 14
Storage and transportation environment • Do not install, store, or leave the CR-2 in a very hot or humid environment. Also, do not use the CR-2 outside. Doing so may cause a malfunction or misoperation. • Always try to keep the room as clean as possible. After many years of usage, airborne dust in the room may get on the objective lens as well as the optical parts in the main unit.

Basic Operations Flow of Operation The flow of operations for retinal photography is as follows. Connect the cables if necessary as described in “Connecting Cables” (see page 22). Preparing for an examination (page 22) Setup for patient (page 24) Alignment (page 25) Small pupil photography (page 30) x2 photography (page 30) Diopter compensation (page 31)
4 Basic Operations Connecting Cables Connect the CR-2 to a computer in which the Rics NM 2, the supplied software, has been installed. • Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands. WARNING • Do not use any power cord other than the supplied.

CAUTION The main unit and the chin rest move to the center position when the CR-2 is turned on. Do not touch the main unit and the chin rest while they are moving. At the same time, keep the patient’s chin away from the chin rest.
4 Basic Operations Disinfect the forehead rest and replace the chin rest paper. If chin rest paper is not being used, disinfect the chin rest also. • To prevent the risk of infection, wipe the forehead rest with ethanol solution or any other CAUTION disinfectant whenever changing patients.
Alignment Align the retinal camera with the eye to be photographed. When adjusting the position of the retinal camera in the front-back direction, slowly bring the main CAUTION unit closer to the patient while looking at the patient’s eye from the side. The patient’s eye may be injured if the objective lens makes contact with it.

4 Basic Operations Tilt the operation lever forward or backward to unify the top and bottom of the image of the pupil. When the pupil is smaller than the inner pupil alignment circle Darken the room further to dilate the patient's pupil more. If the patient's pupil does not dilate enough, use the small pupil photography function (see page 30).
