Leica M525 F20/CT20 / Ref. 10 715 156 / Version 01
The red line in the brightness adjustment bar shows the maximum
limit of the brightness that can be set depending on the current
working distance.
The brightness cannot be increased beyond the red line.
When the working distance is reduced by too little at a set
brightness, the brightness is reduced automatically.
This safety function can be deactivated by clicking the
"Brightcare™" button. A dialog opens in which you have to
confirm that you want to deactivate the safety function.
If the BrightCare™ safety function is deactivated, the color of the
"BrightCare" button changes from green to yellow.
WARNING
With a short focal length, the light source of the illumination
unit may be too bright for the operating physician and the
