2.3 Electric connection
Connect your podoscope verifying that the indications on the plate
correspond to the local electric voltage, then plug it into the socket
which must be supplied with a surcharge safety device.
The use of accessories, transducers and cables, except the ones sold
by the producer as spare parts, can increase the emissions and decrease
the EM (electromagnetic) device immunity.
Chapter 3 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
3.1 Use of the podoscope
Plug the podoscope in to light it up, then switch on (5) to position I.
Let the patient step on the transparent basis of the podoscope and make
sure that the feet are right in the centre of it. Then proceed with a sight
examination on the mirror.
If have not been supplied caoutchouc the examination can be performed
only if the patient is barefoot, otherwise lay the caoutchouc on the
transparent surface. This material is also useful to check the validity of arch support treatments.
Warning: don’t let step on patients with injured foot skin
At the end of the examination, press (5) again to put it back to the 0 position and turn it off.

Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Ordinary maintenance
The ordinary maintenance described in this paragraph can be carried out directly by the operator.
1. Disinfect the surface of the podoscope after each use with disinfectants
indicated for this material: never use alcohol nor solvents for this purpose.
2. Clean the podoscope at least once a week, always after having unplugged
it. Use clean clothes, slightly moistened with water and detergent for
glasses. Never use alcohol nor solvents for this purpose.
3. The frequency of the checks on internal wiring may vary according to
external conditions (i.e. presence of dust) and repeated usage.
4. As a general rule, we recommend a sight inspection every six months or at
least within one year after the purchase of the podoscope, to ascertain
whether there is no wear and tear in the cable or in the electric
connections.
If you have to replace one of the fuses, open the fuse holder placed in the position indicated in the
picture on page 19.
Then get out the blown fuse with a suitable instrument and replace it with a T 0,5 A – 5x20 250V fuse.
If you have to replace the power cord, the new one must have the same characteristics and certica-
tion of the original one.
In the case of troubles or needs to replace spare parts, always contact the producer.
