A. Remove the power cord from the shipping box.
B. Insert the power cord into the plug located at the back end of the base.

must be a 3 hole wall socket, in order to ensure proper grounding of
the instrument.
D. Depress the power on/off button with your right foot, to turn on the
power. The power indicator light will come on at that time.
E. Important: Rotate the Rheostat Knob to turn on the Viewing Light.
F. When the instrument is ready to be shut off, simply depress the power
on/off button with your right foot. The power indicator light will go off
at that time.
5. Precautions
A. For storage, the instrument should be placed in a clean, dry environ-
ment with stable temperatures to extend the life of the components
and ensure longevity of the instrument.
B. Please cover the Colposcope with the
plastic dust cover that is included with
this instrument. This will keep the optics
and components relatively dust free.
C. When storing or carrying the instrument,
adjust the instrument to the lowest
position. This will help ensure that if it is
inadvertently hit, it will resist tipping over.

6. Adjustment of the Eyepieces
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance in the spacing between
a person’s eyes.
To Adjust the IPD
A. Turn on power by pressing the foot-switch on the base. On/off indica-
tion light will come on.
B. Turn the black Rheostat Knob on the left to adjust the light intensity.
Light will project from upper part of the Colposcope.
C. Gently place your eyes against the black rubber eyepieces. Grasp the
tan metal housing with both hands. Gently rotate the barrels together
or apart. A singular circular image should be seen through both eye-
pieces. This adjustment is similar to adjusting the eyepieces of
binoculars.

7. Adjustment of the Diopter Knobs
Focusing the Colposcope
A. Set the Diopter Knobs at zero.
B. Turn the Colposcope on, place your eyes against the eyepieces, and
focus the Colposcope on a fixed object until that object appears clear
and sharp.
C. It is recommended to focus on letters such as a book or a magazine.
D. Close your right eye. With your left hand, rotate the Diopter Knob until
the object is clear and sharp for your left eye. Note: The Diopter allows
you to adjust for plus and minus vision corrections.
E. Then close your left eye. With your right hand, rotate the diopter knob
until the object is clear and sharp for your right eye. Note: The Diopter
allows you to adjust for plus and minus vision corrections.
F. This adjustment of the diopters will put the in Col-
poscope focus. You will see two measuring circles ⎞mm A B
through the lens. The large circle is 7.6mm and the
small circle is 1.5mm. Note: There is a chart on the
right tan metal housing.

G. It is important to keep a record of the adjustments on the Diopters for
both your left and right eyes. Since
most offices have multiple people
using the Colposcope, the eyepiec-
es will be different when someone
else wants to use it. By remember-
ing your diopter settings, clarity can
Lens 7.6mm Line
1.5mm Line
be achieved by simply moving the
diopters to your setting when you
are ready to use the Colposcope.
This avoids you going through steps
A–E each time.
A Note for Eyeglass Wearers:
For best results when wearing eyeglasses, fold down the Colposcope’s
rubber eye cups. Then place your eyeglasses against the folded down
eye cups while using the Colposcope. When you are finished using the
Colposcope, unfold the rubber eyepieces to maintain the correct memory
in those rubber eyepieces.
