OPERATION AND FIRST TIME USE
!
Batteries: When replacing batteries, it is important that they be placed in
proper polarity. Unscrew the End Cap and insert two AAA batteries with the
positive (+) terminal in the front towards the LED. Replace the End Cap. If the Microlux 2 is
not going to be used for more than 30 days, it is recommended that the batteries be
removed. In order to save battery life and to avoid leakage you may disconnect the battery
by rotating the end cap counter-clockwise by one full turn until you see the red O-ring.
!
Fiber Optic Light Guide: The focused image grade light guide is fragile –
handle with care. Insert the glass light guide into the front end aluminum chuck,
with firm pressure. The stainless steel ferrule at the end of the light guide should be
completely inside of the chuck. To remove, rotate slightly and pull on the light guide at the
same time.
Note: The Microlux 2 accepts all original Microlux light guides.
Operation: Press the blue on/off button to turn the unit on. The LED turns on in 'High
Intensity' mode. If the button is pressed a 2nd time the light output is reduced to approxi-
mately one-third, or 'Low Intensity' mode for better photos. When the button is pressed a 3rd
time the unit turns off.
Low battery indicator: The LED will blink twice when unit is powered up and automatically
switches to low intensity mode to conserve power.
Auto Turn Off: The Microlux 2 unit will automatically turn itself off after 7 minutes of use to
conserve battery power.
Constant Light Output: Built in regulator circuit produces constant light output regardless of
battery charge level.

not spray disinfectant onto unit. Be especially careful not to get disinfectant
into the front of the chuck assembly, since this could damage the LED
contacts and reduce the light output.

DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
