CONGRATULATIONSCONGRATULATIONS
You have purchased the VistaCam Omni ic 4, the latest camera that is the heart of the VistaCam video
imaging product line from Air Techniques, a leading manufacturer of dental equipment since 1962.
The VistaCam Omni ic 4 consists of a camera and handpiece unit with integral image capture capabilities,
and a Docking Station with power supply, lamp and fan. The lightweight camera easily detaches from the
Docking Station and can be transported among operatories, making it a versatile addition that can grow
with your practice. Start with a single cart or counter-top system and, as your practice and your require-
ments grow, add cameras, Docking Stations, monitors, a printer with footswitches, etc. You can even
integrate your VistaCam video imaging system as part of your computerized practice management software
system.
This manual covers the operation and installation of:
n Cart, Counter-Top or Wall-Mount System
nMulti-Operatory Installation w/o Interoperatory Wiring
nMulti-Operatory Network with QDA (Queuing Distribution Amplifier)
We suggest you retain this manual and familiarize yourself with the operation of the VistaCam Omni ic 4
and the system components. For product support and information on how to expand your installation set-
up, contact your professional authorized Air Techniques dealer.

two hour capacity to “hold” a captured image in memory when the camera is
detached from the Docking Station.When using the VistaCam Omni ic 4 for the
first time turn on the power to the VistaCam Omni ic 4 and leave on a
minimum of 12 hours to make sure the battery is fully charged.

FIG. 7 ROCKER SWITCH CONTROLS
nIf all components share a single power source, turn ON the power source. All components on a
VistaCam cart system are plugged into a power strip with an ON/OFF switch. Turn the switch to the
ON position. The light on the ON/OFF switch illuminates. If components are plugged into separate
wall outlets, turn ON the power at the outlet.
nBe sure individual system components are ON:
A. When the rocker switch (see Fig. 7) on the VistaCam Omni ic 4 is put in the ON or CAMERA
ONLY position, the red indicator light illuminates.
B. When the monitor is turned ON, Video 3 is briefly displayed. When the camera is also in the ON
position, an icon appears in the lower right hand corner of the black screen, indicating that the
camera is set in the SINGLE image format. If the camera is set in the QUAD format, an on-screen
frame appears in the upper left hand portion of the screen.
-If the monitor does not display VIDEO 3, it is not in the correct input mode. Reset the input
selection found on the monitor control panel. (See MONITOR OPERATION; To Set the Input
Selection)
-The monitor is factory pre-set to automatically turn ON when AC power is connected. If the
POWER button on the front panel must be pressed to turn ON the monitor, reprogram the
monitor with the INSTANT ON feature. (See MAJOR COMPONENTS; 13" MONITOR)

To detach / attach the lens (See Fig. 9)
A. Detach the lens from the handpiece / umbilical
assembly by pulling the quick release collar
back with one hand, then pulling the lens off
with the other hand.
B. Attach the lens by pulling back the quick
release collar, then align the pin on the
handpiece / umbilical assembly with the
hole in the lens assembly, fit the two together,
and PUSH THE COLLAR FORWARD
UNTIL THE LENS IS LOCKED IN PLACE.
2.THEHANDPIECE
nWhen the rocker switch is in the ON ( ) position, the fiber optic light source (lamp) turns
on automatically when the handpiece is removed from the handpiece holder. When the handpiece is
returned to the handpiece holder, the light source turns OFF automatically and the camera remains
ON. This auto activated feature prolongs the life of the lamp. (REMINDER: REMOVE THE
BLACK PLASTIC CAP FROM THE HANDPIECE TIP BEFORE USING.)
When imaging an x-ray on a lightbox or a full facial image with the full face portrait lens, deactivate
the light source by putting the rocker switch in the CAMERA ONLY ( ) position. Also use
CAMERA ONLY when an outside light source is being used.
