Operating Instructions

Charging the battery pack
- Plug charger cord (FIG. 1, ITEM 2) into the charger adapter (FIG. 1, ITEM 1).
- Plug the charger adapter (FIG. 1, ITEM 1) into a power outlet and connect to the battery pack (FIG. 1, ITEM 3) charging port
  (FIG. 2, ITEM 1). The green charging status light (FIG. 2, ITEM 6) will blink to indicate that charging has begun.
- Once the battery pack is fully charged, the green charging status light (FIG. 2, ITEM 6) will stay solid. NOTE: When the battery
  pack has 10% or less of full power, the red low battery indicator (FIG. 2, ITEM 4) will turn on. The low battery indicator turns off when the battery pack is charging and has reached more than 10% of full power.
Mounting the Light to Loupes
Attach the lamp head to loupes using the supplied mount and hardware if purchased with loupes. If your light was purchased
after loupes, contact Brasseler VE Loupes & Lights Care to order the appropriate mount and hardware.
- Flip-Up Style Loupes:
  Slide clip onto front of interpupillary cross bar of loupes, with one circular cut-out on top and one cut-out on the bottom of the
  cross bar. The clip should securely snap into place.
- Through-The-Lens (TTL) Loupes:
  Line the screw holes of the mount to the drilled holes on the frame. Use the Phillips head screwdriver provided and tighten
  screws until secure.
- Universal Mount:
  Open the clip and slide down over the top of the nose bridge. The padded arms of the clip should grasp each side of the
  eyeglass lenses. Tighten thumb screw to secure clip to frame.
Installing the lamp head and battery pack
- Attach the lamp head cable to the loupe frames with the small elastic strap. (FIG. 1, ITEM 6).
- Use the shirt clip (FIG. 1, ITEM 7) on the lamp head cable to position the cord on your shirt or lab coat as desired.
- Clip the battery pack to your waist band or pocket, install the lamp head cable to the lamp head port (FIG. 2, ITEM 3).
Lamp head operation
- To turn on/off the lamp head, press and hold the power button (FIG. 2, ITEM 2) for 2 seconds.
- Adjust the lamp head intensity by tapping the power button (FIG. 2, ITEM 2). The intensity indicators (FIG. 2, ITEM 5) indicate
  the intensity of the lamp head. Each intensity indicator light represents 25% of full intensity.
Adjust the direction of the LED beam
To adjust the tension of the lamp head position, use the supplied Phillips head screwdriver to tighten or loosen the two small
link screws as needed.
Precautions
The use of charger adapters and cords other than those provided for use with the device may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity and may cause the system to be non-compliant with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2. Only the power
supply that ships with your device should be used to power the lamp heads.

Battery

Inspect battery pack prior to use.
Do not dismantle, puncture, crush, or incinerate.
If the battery pack is dropped or receives a mechanical impact, ensure that the casing is not cracked or damaged.
Do not use damaged battery packs.
The electrolyte contained within the lithium cells can cause irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin.
In addition, cell venting could result in air contaminants, including corrosive or flammable vapors. All precautions should be taken to limit exposure to the electrolyte vapor.

Lamp Head

Turn the lamp head off when not in use. The lamp housing can get hot.
Do not use the lamp if ambient temperatures exceed 30°C (86°F).
When lamp is in use, always keep the front of the light at least 6 inches from skin and any surface being illuminated.
Avoid shining the lamp into patient’s eyes.
Do not allow contact of the lamp to the patient.
Use a curing filter when working with any light-curable resins.

Charging

When charging the battery pack, inspect the charging lights to ensure that charging is active.
Do not simultaneously touch the charging unit (when plugged in) and the patient.
Supplied Li-ion batteries can be dangerous and even explode if improperly charged. The battery pack is designed to be charged only by the supplied charging accessories.
Do not position the battery charger so it is difficult to disconnect the power adapter from the wall.

General

Check all components for burrs, nicks, and sharp edges prior to use.
If unit is jarred or dropped, re-inspect prior to use.
Do not use the Brasseler VE Beam headlight system or charge the battery in an oxygen-rich environment.
Do not store liquids above the charger, battery pack or any other Brasseler VE Beam component or accessory.
If a spill occurs to the charger, battery, lamp head or battery pack, discontinue use. Using the charger after liquid is spilled into the unit could result in electrical shock.
Clean only as directed.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Brasseler VE Beam system, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Removing the power adapter from the wall outlet is the means of isolating the headlight from the supply means.
Compliance with radiated emissions and immunity Standards: Complies with RF Emissions test per CISPR 11 Group 1 Class B; and Immunity test per IEC 60601 test level for ESD, EFT, Surge, Power Frequency, Voltage, Conducted RF and Radiated RF.
