Charging Station.
•After 2 minutes in the Charging Station, the VIP-400 will go to sleep to
eciently charge. The screen will go dark. If any button is pressed or the
screen is touched within this 2-minute window, the time period before the

9-10 .Two components are required to initiate a pupil measurement:
•VIP-400 Pupillometer (Ex. 9)
•Eye Cup (Ex. 10)
The VIP-400 should not be used without the eye cup
positioned correctly (Ex. 10) It is very important that the eye
cup be correctly fitted. A snug fit helps reduce the possibility
of stray light entering the eye while the scan is taking place.
The eye cup has a tab in the rim which fits into the indentation
in the lens shield of the Pupillometer.
Setting Date and Time
6. To modify the date and time, from the Home Screen, select the Settings icon
and then select Date or Time. Follow the prompts to input the current
date and time using 24-hour time configuration and select .
7. Customers in the United States have the option to enable Automatic Daylight
Savings Time (DST) in the Time settings. Automatic DST is disabled by default.
Automatic adjustments occur based only on US DST regulations and are not
updated according to geographic location.
Date and Time Maintenance:
•Regular quarterly maintenance is necessary to ensure date and time are
correct. The set date and time will aect the timestamp listed for subsequent
patient pupil measurements. Changing the date and time will not alter the
timestamps on previous measurements.
•Immediately adjust the time after any time change if Automatic DST is disabled.
Returning to the Main Menu
8. Press the OD or OS buttons (green circles) to return to the Main Menu.
