SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. is LED curing unit must be used in strict accordance with the following operating instructions. e
manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage resulting from the misuse of this unit or if it is being used
for any other purpose.
2. NOTE: Exercise extreme caution when using this product in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mix-
ture or an oxidizer like oxygen or nitrous oxide.
3. is LED curing unit produces a high-output of light energy. A signicant increase in light energy is pos-
sible when compared to equipment previously used. It is important to observe the following precautions and
procedures:
• Do not place light directly on or towards unprotected gingiva or skin.
• Adjust curing techniques in accordance with the increase in light energy.
• Do not look directly at the light emitted from this LED curing unit. Do not use this device without suitable
eye protection for the operator, assistant and patient.
• Person(s) having a history of photosensitive reactions or who are using photosensitizing drugs should not be
exposed to light from this LED curing unit.
4. Use only the Beyes charger provided with this unit; e use of any other charger can result in damage to
the battery.
5. Do not allow cleaning agents to enter the unit; is may short-circuit the unit or cause a potentially
dangerous malfunction.
6. Only service centers authorized by Beyes Dental Canada Inc. may open the Curing Light Controller hous-
ing and repair the unit.
7. In order to avoid electric shock do not introduce any objects into the unit with the exception of replace-
ment parts in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
8. Person(s) (practitioners or patients) who have previously suered from a retina or crystalline lens condition
or who have undergone eye surgery (in particular for cataracts) must see their ophthalmologist before using

the Slimax curing light. Even supposing if the eye specialist agrees; prudence is strongly recommended, For the
reason that the intensity of the light could cause accidents. Class 2M protective eyewear is suitable for use with
units emitting radiation at wavelengths between 420 and 480 nm, should be worn at all times.
IMPORTANT
• Batteries must be charged prior to use.
• e ber-optic light guide is provided in a non-sterile condition and must be sterilized prior to
patient contact.
INTRODUCTION
e Slimax LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a cordless pen style curing light used for the polymerization of
light-cured dental material used by dental professionals. It is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
pack. is curing light system from Beyes Dental Canada Inc. generates a powerful output up to 2000 mW/cm
(± 10%). e curing procedure for composite materials is easier and quicker than ever before with the options
of 5, 10, 15 and 20 seconds curing time. Users can either select Full Power, Ramping Power or Pulse. is slim,
light weight curing light is ergonomically designed for user’s comfort and exibility. It’s solid aluminum body
sets it apart from the mass of plastic competitors. e quality, durability, and ease of applied infection control
techniques make this curing unit a state of the art instrument. e curing light (Slimax-C) comes in four dif-
ferent colors, Pink, Silver, Blue, and Purple.
ASSEMBLY
e box contains:
a. 1 Curing Light Controller

battery should be charged for 6 hours prior to its rst use.)
c. 1 Tip
d. 1 Battery Charger
e. 1 Power Supply
f. 1 Light Sheild
g. 1 8-mm Curved Light Guide
OPERATION
BATTERY: e battery pack contains a Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. When the battery is
low, you will see “LO” on the LED display panel along with slow frequency beeps.
INSTALL THE BATTERY
1. Remove the battery and the Curing Light Controller with LED Display from the box
2. Gently screw the battery into the Curing Light Controller

CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Plug the power supply into the charger base. e socket is located at the back of the charger base.
2. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
3. Place curing unit with battery into the charger as shown in Figure 1 or 2.
Please note:
e charging status lights are located on the top of the charger base and indicate the state of battery charge.
• Yellow light—battery is charging
• Green light—battery is fully charged
BATTERY DISPOSAL: e battery pack contains a Lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery. Recycle or dispose of batteries according to national, state and
local regulations.
ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE LIGHT
• Press the button “1”; the light will turn on.
• If desired, the light can be turned o by pressing
the ON/OFF button before the exposure time is over.
CURING LIGHT CHARGE BASE
Included with the Slimax-C Plus is a built in radiometer.( See Fig-
ure 2) It is located on the Charge base for easy access to measure
the instant output of your curing light. To use the radiometer,
please ensure that the charging base is plugged into a power outlet.
Turn the curing light on and activate the light. en insert the
light guide into A (Seen in Figure 2). e measurement reading
will be shown on the display screen.

RECOMMENDED CURING TIME BASE ON THE BOOST POWER
Due to the high light output of the Slimax Curing Light System, the normal exposure times for conventional
units can be cut in half without compromising polymerization performance.
Beyes Dental Canada TESTING INDICATES THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED CURING TIMES:
Universal composite shades A3 and lighter (2-mm depth).....................5 seconds
Universal composite shades A3.5 and darker............................................10 seconds
Bonding agents, universal resin luting cements
and Self-etch, self-adhesive cements....…...................................................5 seconds
Note: It is highly recommended that curing capability be tested using a Hardness Disk
to ensure a complete cure.
CURING LIGHT CONTROLLER:
e eciency of your new Slimax Curing Light is designed to provide an entire days use when fully charged.
A fully charged battery will yield 850 ten-second cures.
Boost and Regular Light Output :
e Slimax Curing Light oers you two tiers of light intensity to meet your daily needs
LP = Regular Output 1400 mW/cm2 ± 10%
HP = Boost Output 2000 mW/cm2 ± 10%
Select Output:
1. Press button “2” continuously
2. Press button “1” to select HP or LP
