CURING MODE: Standard Power mode - 1000 mW/cm
2
USES: Curing of restorative materials with photo initiators.
TIMING INTERVALS: 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds.
VALO Cordless defaults to this mode when it is INITIALLY powered on. The Status Light is green and the green Timing Lights are solidly
illuminated.
To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
CURING MODE: High Power mode - 1400 mW/cm
2
USES: Initial curing of restorative materials with photo initiators. Tacking of veneers, orthodontic brackets, and restorative materials.
TIMING INTERVALS: 1, 2, 3, 4 seconds.
From Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time Button for 2 seconds. The green Timing Lights will illuminate and flash. The Status
Light will illuminate as a steady orange light, indicating High Power mode. A two-second power tack is the most commonly used timing
interval in this mode.
To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to the completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
To return to Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Button for 2 seconds, release, which cycles to Xtra Power Mode, then
hold again for 2 seconds, and release to Standard power mode.
CURING MODE:
Xtra Power mode - 3200 mW/cm
†
2
USES: The Xtra Power mode is useful for all dental curing. It is especially valuable for deep curing of restorative materials, placing thin
veneers, attaching orthodontic brackets, and fast curing in pediatric settings.
TIMING INTERVAL: 3 seconds only (Note: there is a 2 second safety delay at the end of each curing cycle).
From the Standard Power mode, press the Time Button for 2 seconds, release, press again for 2 seconds, and release. Three of the green
Timing Lights and the orange Status Light will illuminate and flash, indicating Xtra Power mode.
Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
To return to the Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time Button for 2 seconds.
NOTE: The VALO Cordless curing light is programmed to cycle from the Standard Power mode to the High Power mode to the Xtra Power
mode in sequence. For example, to change from the Standard Power mode to the Xtra Power mode, it is necessary to cycle into the High
Power mode and then to the Xtra Power mode.
† Note: 'Xtra Power' equal Plasma Power levels in the Corded VALO. In this context Plasma refers to 'plasma-like' due to intense optical
output and curing capacity. Actual plasma arc lights generate broad optical output that must be filtered to reduce harmful shortwave
ultraviolet radiation.
Note: If it is necessary to cure near soft tissue, cooling with an air stream is an option for keeping the area cooler.
