3M Unitek Ortholux Luminous Curing Ligh Instructions For Use Manual

Operation

LEDs showing
exposure times

Activating the Handpiece

If the Power Level LED is off, briefly press the START
button to activate the hand piece. The Power Level LED
will come on and a short audible signal is emitted. The
hand piece is now ready for operation; the handpiece
displays the latest set exposure time setting.

Selection of Exposure Time

Press the TIME button to cycle through the following
settings from left to right. Press the TIME button again
to go back to 3s settings from the Extended Mode.
3s
6s
9s
Caution! High intensity light always involves the
production of heat. When utilizing the light in
Extended Mode (15s), do not keep the light in
one position. Longer exposure in the region of the pulp
can lead to injury or irritation of the pulp, which is why
the specified exposure times must not be exceeded.
Activating and Deactivating the
Light Emission
Briefly press the START button to activate the light
emission for the Exposure Time set as described above.
•  Once the emission has begun, the active Exposure
Time LEDs will count down every 3s with an acoustical
signal indicating the elapsed time, except for the
Extended Mode. When the emission is completed, the
Exposure Time LEDs will return as set before.

emission before the set time is over.

Tack Cure Function

Hold down the START button to activate the Tack Cure
function regardless of the set Exposure Time. The unit
emits a single one-second light pulse which allows for
a short exposure to tack cure brackets. The light will
return to standard operation when the START button is
no longer depressed.
