Unpacking anD iniTiaL cHaRging
The Radii-cal has been carefully packed to withstand any damage during transit.
Ensure all parts contained within the box match the product contents list above.
1) Remove all parts from the box.
2) Place the plug pack cable into the charger.
3) Plug the plug pack into an available power outlet and turn power outlet on.
The charger will conduct a brief LED test: the charge light LED should momentarily
show red/green and the 5 blue radiometer LEDs should turn on/off.
4) Place the curing light handpiece into the charger. The handpiece can be rotated
360º in the charger. Depending on the length of time from manufacture to
package opening, the charge remaining in the battery can vary. The charge light
will show the below three conditions.

To ensure the highest level of performance, allow the Radii-cal to fully charge prior
to first use. On average, it will take approximately 1-3 hours to initially charge the
Radii-cal.
OpeRaTiOn
• Turning unit on and off
Simply pick up the curing light handpiece, press the on/off button once to activate
and de-activate the light. Audible beeps facilitate accurate time measurement of
curing. Replace the Radii-cal back in the charger when not in use.
• Audible beeps
An audible beep will be heard after the first 15 seconds (5 second ramp, 10
seconds full cure) two audible beeps after a further 10 seconds then three audible
beeps after an additional 10 seconds etc. The full cycle will continue as follows;

At the end of 65 seconds one long beep will be heard before the blue LED is
automatically switched off.
• Lens Cap
The Radii-cal has been supplied with a lens cap fitted. The lens cap should be
inspected prior to each use for scratches, cracks or foreign matter that may reduce
the effectiveness of the LED light source. Generally lens caps should be replaced
every 2 weeks. To remove the lens cap carefully unscrew the old lens cap counter-
clockwise and fit the new lens cap by tightening clockwise.
• Built in Radiometer
The Radii-cal’s built-in radiometer provides a simple test to check the
functionality of the unit. With the Radii-cal on, carefully position the lens
cap on the built-in radiometer. 4 or 5 lights should illuminate indicating a
fully functional unit. If only 1,2 or 3 lights illuminate, it could be due
to the following reasons:
1) There could be some material on the lens cap such as composite: - the
lens cap should be replaced.
2) The lens cap could be damaged or cracked: - it should be replaced.
3) The battery could be extremely low - the unit should be recharged.
4) In a severe case the light could be malfunctioning: - the unit should be serviced.
note:
Portable radiometers can give inaccurate and inconsistent results. These
results can vary by as much as 300 mW/cm
2
or more.
• Disposable barrier sleeves
Transparent, disposable barrier sleeves are supplied to protect the handpiece and
prevent cross contamination. Testing showed no significant difference in spectral
and energy output when operating with or without a barrier sleeve in place.
Slide the barrier sleeve over the end of the handpiece before placing the orange
light shield on the end of the handpiece.
it is essential to use disposable barrier sleeves to prevent any liquids
getting on the handpiece. evidence of liquids entering handpiece causeing
damage due to not using barrier sleeves will void warranty.
• Automatic shut off function
Should the Radii-cal LED become too hot due to excessive use (after about 4
minutes of continuous irradiation), the unit will automatically shut off and be
un-usable for about 1 minute until it cools down.
• Changing the battery pack
Carefully unscrew the battery pack counter-clockwise to remove and replace. A
single beep will be heard when the battery pack is successfully connected.
• Cleaning the Radii-cal:
The ideal way to protect patients from cross-infection is to utilise Radii-cal barrier
sleeves. Barrier sleeves are also essential to keep the Radii-cal clean. When cleaning
the Radii-cal handpiece, ensure control section, lens cap and battery pack are
connected as one unit.
Thank you for purchasing the Radii-cal LED curing light. The Radii-cal
is a powerful, cordless, lightweight curing light using an LED for the
polymerization of composite restorative materials that contain the photo-
initiator Camphorquinone. The Radii-cal produces a strong blue light in the
wavelength range of 440 – 480 nm, the relevant range for Camphorquinone
containing products.

general Surface cleaning
General surface cleaning can be conducted with anti-microbial surface disinfectant
such as Glutaraldehyde, Chlorhexidine gluconate, and 70% Isopropyl alcohol. When
applying the disinfectant to any component of the device, spray the disinfectant
agent onto a piece of cloth and wipe over the
external
areas to be cleaned.
• Curing Times
Curing times will differ for different formulations of composite restorative
materials. Follow the manufacturers instructions for recommended curing times.
Always bench test new materials before use in-vivo.
• Disposal of battery pack
As a means of protecting the environment, the Radii-cal battery pack is fitted with
a Lithium Ion battery pack. Dispose of battery pack in accordance with local legal
regulations.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
The safe operation of this unit depends on strictly following the operating
instructions in this manual. The Manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage
resulting from the use of this unit for any other purpose than the polimerization of
dental composite materials.
- The equipment can not be exposed or immersed in water or wet locations. The
equipment does not have protection against liquid penetration.
- Not appropriate to use the equipment in flammable mixtures.
caUTiOn!
Irradiation of the eyes bears an inherent health risk. Hence,
the light must not be directed towards the eyes. Exposure must be
restricted to the area of the oral cavity in which clinical treatment is
intended. Suitable blue-light filtering safety goggles should be used.
The Radii-cal emits a high intensity light and intensive light exposure of
soft tissues (gingiva, oral mucosa and skin) should be avoided as this
exposure may cause damage or irritation.The emitted light should be
placed directly above the material to be cured. If applicable cover soft
tissue areas.
Do not use the Radii-cal in patients or by users with:
• heart pacemaker implants who have been advised to be
cautious in regards to their exposure to small electrical devices.
• a history of photo biological reactions (including individuals
with urticaria solaris or erythropoietic protoporphyria) or who are
currently on photo-sensitizing medication (including 8-methoxypsoralen
or dimethylchlorotetracycline).
• a history of cataract surgery. These people may be particularly
sensitive to the exposure to light and should be discouraged from Radii-cal
treatment unless adequate safety measures, such as the use of
protective goggles to remove blue light, are undertaken.
• a history of retinal disease. These people should seek advice from
their ophthalmologist prior to operating the unit. In operating the Radii
-cal unit, this group of individuals must take extreme care and comply
with all safety precautions (including the use of suitable light-filtering
safety goggles).
