• 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
the handpiece will be green,
indicating the unit is ready for use.
If the light does not light up green,
see Section VI Troubleshooting.
CAUTION: Never modify the
power cord.
WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do
not use in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
IV. FUNCTION CHECK
A. Activate/Deactivate Light
Depressing the On/Off button on
the handpiece activates or
deactivates the curing light
(Fig. 1c) . Do not hold the button
continuously throughout the
curing cycle. During operation an
audible beep will be emitted every
10 seconds. The unit shuts off
automatically after 20 seconds.
B. Measuring the Light's
Effectiveness
To ensure complete
polymerization at all times, it is
critical to periodically test the light
intensity output.
C. Radiometer Display
A reading of 300 mW/cm
indicates that the light output is
acceptable for the polymerization of
material up to a 2.0 mm depth.
8/14/06 9:23 AM
Follow the dental material
manufacturer's instructions for
recommended exposure time, and
check using the supplied test block.
A reading below 300 mW/cm
or a reduction of intensity of the
light output in comparison to the
original value, indicates that
corrective action should be
taken. (See Section VI, D
Troubleshooting.)
V. CLINICAL APPLICATION
CAUTION: Always test
restorative materials with this
LED light by using the supplied
test block.
• Polymerization: Determine the
exposure time in accordance
with the dental material
manufacturer's instructions
or by using the test block
provided.
• Remove the charged handpiece
from the charger base; position
the light shield; slide the barrier
sleeve over the light and light
shield; direct the tip of the light
lens as close to the restorative
material as possible without
touching.
• Activate Coltolux
momentary push of the button.
Avoid contact with unpolymerized
restorative material, glass
ionomer, liquid resin or bonding
agent because direct contact will
cause these materials to adhere
to the light lens. This will block
the light transmission and result
in improper polymerization.
