I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A. Observe the following
precautionary procedures before
and whenever using the
Coltolux
®
LED Curing Light:
CAUTION:
Before connecting,
read all instructions.
CAUTION:
Light output
from this unit, potentially
over 1000 mW/cm
2
, may be a
significant increase compared
to other polymerization devices;
therefore, when using this
curing light:
•
Determine curing time of your
material using the enclosed
test block.
•
Adjust curing techniques in
accordance with the increased
energy.
WARNING:
Do not substitute
the light lens from other curing
lights. Use only the light lens
supplied for this unit. Never use
components not designed for use
with this device since this may
impair performance. Do not
refrigerate or put in freezer
to cool.
CAUTION:
Persons having
a history of photosensitive
reactions or who are using
photosensitizing drugs should
not be exposed to light from
this unit.
B. All high intensity lights may cause
retinal damage with prolonged
exposure to the eyes, therefore
we urge you observe these
cautionary statements:
CAUTION:
Never look directly
into the light emitted from the
light lens or reflected from tooth
or other surfaces.
•
Always use light shields (Cat.
No. C7944) available for light
curing or use eye protection
goggles (Cat. No. C7988) that
block light in the blue spectral
range. Sunglasses are not
adequate protection.
•
Before each use, inspect the light
lens
(Section VIII).
•
Patients, operators and dental
technicians should always use
proper eye protection.
CAUTION:
The red indicator light
on the charger indicates a warning
that the battery may not have
sufficient charge for proper curing
operation and that action must be
taken to charge the battery.
II. UNPACKING
•
Before unpacking, examine the
carton for external damage, and
if severe, contact your
shipper/carrier.
•
Open carton and carefully
remove the unit and accessories.
Make sure supply voltage is
within the range specified on the
power supply
(Fig. 3). If not, do
not operate this unit; contact your
dealer or Coltène/Whaledent Inc.
III. SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY
•
Coltolux
®
LED is designed as a
cordless handpiece unit with a
separate charger base. Place the
charger base on a smooth flat
surface in an area that is dry and
free of dust, is convenient and has
an outlet within easy reach of the
supplied power cord. Export units
include additional plug adapters.
Install the appropriate plug adapter
onto the power supply
(Fig. 2). To
change the plug adapter, remove
screw, slide existing plug adapter out
of power pack and replace with
desired plug adapter, insert screw
and tighten securely
(Fig. 6). Plug
the power cord into the wall outlet
and then into the charger base. A
green light on the charger base
indicates power is available to
charge the handpiece.
•
Insert the handpiece into the
charger base. When the handpiece
is being charged, the light on the
charger base will be red. When the
handpiece is fully charged and
ready, the red light on the charger
base will turn green.
The initial charging of the hand-
piece will require approximately
3 hours to fully charge.
•
When the handpiece is removed
from the charger base the small
light above the On/Off button on
