2.  Use the rotary knob on the front of the transilluminator to select from the available lighting wavelengths 

or intensities (transilluminator settings vary by model). 
 

3.  Locate the 

UV 

power button on the front of the BioDoc-It

this switch until it glows green. The transillumination is now active.
