3. WAR I GS A D PRECAUTIO S
You have purchased a high quality ADC®DiagnostixTM instrument which has been
manufactured to the highest global standards and is subjected to rigorous quality control.
Read these instructions for use carefully before putting the unit into operation and keep
them in a safe place.
If you should have any questions, call our toll-free number or visit our website. Our
address can be found on the last page of this booklet.
Please note that all instruments described in these instructions for use are only to be used
by suitably trained personnel.

Never attempt to take the instrument apart! There is a danger of life-threatening
electrical shock. Unplug the instrument before cleaning or when disinfecting.
Warning: Do not use batteries, electrical cords other than those included with this product or
replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning: Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the
device for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting
should not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures. This
device should be used with filters that eliminate UV radiation (<400 nm) and, whenever
possible, filters that eliminate short-wavelength blue light (<420 nm).
The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the
exposure time. If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time would be needed to
reach the maximum exposure limit.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect
ophthalmoscopes, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient’s eye be
limited to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons
with diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being
examined has had any exposure with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument
using a visible light source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye
has been exposed to retinal photography.
Warning: Otoscope MUST be used with included disposable specula.
Warning: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Caution: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Attention: Make sure to charge wall plug-in handles for at least 12 hours before
first use and for all subsequent charges to ensure optimal capacity and battery life.
OTE: To obtain the greatest performance from your DiagnostixTM Instrument, it is
recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to
104°F (40°C), with a 10-95% relative humidity.
Caution: Observe the Operating Instructions

4.3. Inserting and Removing Rechargeable
Batteries
Screw off the battery cap on the lower part of the
handle. Depending on which handle you have
purchased and for what voltage (Fig. 1), insert the
rechargeable battery into the casing such that the
positive end points toward the top of the handle. There
is also an arrow next to the plus symbol on the
rechargeable battery, which shows you the direction to insert into the
handle. Screw the battery cap onto the handle to secure.
(Fig. 1)

Plug-in Handle
Prior to initial use of the plug-in handle,
it should be charged for up to 24 hours
in the mains socket.
To charge DiagnostixTM standard
rechargeable handles, desk charger base
(# 5500) is required. Follow “Instructions
for Use” supplied with desk charger.
To change plug-in handle, remove top
portion by unscrewing counter-
clockwise to reveal 2 prong plug in lower portion. Plug into electrical outlet.
CAUTIO :
• If you do not plan to use the device for a long time or if you travel with it,
remove the rechargeable batteries from the handle.
• New batteries should be inserted once the light intensity of the
instrument becomes weaker, even on a full charge.
• To obtain the best possible light output we recommend always fitting
high quality batteries (as described in 4.3).
• If you suspect that liquid or moisture could have entered the handle, it
must not be charged under any circumstances. This could lead to a
life-threatening electric shock, especially in the case of plug-in handles.
• To extend the service life of the battery, the battery should only be
charged once the light intensity of the instrument has become weaker.
• Plug-in handle should be charged overnight (12 hours) to ensure
uninterrupted power supply.

head and tighten by turning clockwise. Keep the hex key in a convenient
place in case the head must be removed for cleaning or service.
OTE: Locking the head is recommended on wall mounted systems only.
4.6 Adjusting the Light Intensity
With the ADC® AdtronicTM electronic rheostat, it is possible to modulate the
light intensity. Smoothly control the applied power by holding the easy grip
dial either turn clockwise or counter-clockwise, varying the light intensity -
stronger or weaker.
ATTE TIO : At every switch-on of the battery handle the light intensity
is at 100%. Automatic safety switch-off after 180 seconds.
