Step 1: Device Set-Up
1. Remove all components from the box (handheld device,
desired treatment window and power supply).
2. Make sure the device is clean, dry, and intact.
3. Select the desired treatment window and simply snap it
onto the light exit window.
Note:
the device will not operate without the treatment win-
dow or if the treatment window is not properly attached.
4. Charge your IPL 8500 device, as necessary.
• Before your first use and when the battery is empty,
fully charge the IPL 8500 battery (full charging of the
battery takes up to 2.5 hours).
• Whenever battery level is low, as indicated by the blink-
ing red light at the Battery status indicator, recharge
your device.
• Fully charge the appliance every 3 to 4 months, even
if you did not use the appliance.
• For charging your device, insert the power cord into
the socket and the power supply into the wall socket.
When the battery is fully charged, the charging light
lights up green continuously.
• After charging, remove the power adapter from the wall
socket and disconnect it from your device.
Notes:
• Some warming of the device and power adaptor during
charging is normal.
• Charging should be done in a room temperature or cool
environment, never above 104°F (40°C). The device is
equipped with battery-overheat protection and will not
charge if the room temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C).
• Never cover the appliance and the adapter during char-
ging.
•
You can use the device while it is being charged.
This may allow you limited number of pulses since
battery charging is slower then battery consump-

The IPL 8500 is now ready to be used.
