audible beep every 5 seconds. Press ON/OFF Key anytime to stop.

Built-in Self-Protection
FUSION has built in self-protection on low
battery and overheats. Low battery is indicated with low Battery Bars
(one or no bars). Low battery triggers one beep a minute ahead of
self-protection shutdown. Light then goes to sleep mode. Overheating
is indicated with a flashing Thermometer symbol, an audible warning
beep together with a red backlit LCD. Light shuts off when overheat is
triggered.
Curing Recommendations
For specific resin, sealants, and bonding materials, perform a timed curing test outside the mouth using a 3mm
washer or hardness disk. Cure from the top for the recommended time and reverse the disk. Using a sharp
instrument, compare the hardness of the disk to the hardness of the top composite - it should feel the same if well
cured. For general guidance, use recommended curing times below. For reduced heat or shrinkage, use Pulse
Power Mode and replace 3sec with 5sec curing times below.

Fluorescence Exams/Visualization
The DOE violet light head interchanges with the FUSION curing
light head. It is used as a soft and hard tissue fluorescence
visualization tool by exciting the tissue with uniform violet light
allowing the direct visualization of the resulting natural tissue
fluorescence to enhance the identification of abnormalities from
tissues. When used in combination with the orange fluorescent shield, hard tissue fluorescent exams can be
performed for detection of caries, plaques, fillings, and dentin infections. When used in combination with the green
fluorescent shield, soft tissue fluorescent exams can be performed for detection of premalignant dysplasia and
cancerous lesions.
