Safety Warnings and Hazards!
General Hazards
Only individuals familiar with the operation and safe use of this system should
operate it.
Keep the system out of reach of children.
Do not walk on or wheel objects over cables and cords.
Do not overextend the cables and cords to prevent premature wear.
Do not drop any component of the system. Physical shock may cause
permanent damage.
Do not clean the components of the system with abrasives or solvents.
Do not autoclave any component of the system.
Do not insert objects into any opening of a component of the system.
Do not direct light from the Illuminator Module at the eyes of anyone, or look
into the Illuminator Module while it is on.
Do not use the system as a light to navigate your environment.
Electrical Hazards
Never immerse any component of the system in water or other liquids.
Use only an approved, grounded outlet.
Do not allow metal objects or body parts to touch electrical connections.
Do not use any other power supply with this system. Damage resulting from
use of a power supply other than the Power Supply Module voids the warranty.
Always use the Power Control Module when using your system. The system
is intended to function with the module to provide a safety interface between
the user and the power supply.
Unplug the Power Supply Module when connecting or disconnecting cables to
any component of the system.
Fire Hazards
Do not operate the system in a flammable or explosive atmosphere.
Do not block any opening of the system. Doing so may cause overheating of
the Illuminator Module.
Avoid operating the system in dusty environments.

Product Setup
The following procedures may be used to adjust the headband and complete the
wiring setup for either the v300 or v600 Visualization System.
Headband Adjustment (Figure 3)
1) Begin by adjusting the height of the top strap of the Headgear. This strap is
adjusted by separating the strap and sliding it to a new position. The strap is
secured by locking the plastic buttons on the lower strap into the holes of the
upper strap.
2) Loosen the Headgear headband by pushing the knob at the back of the
headband and turning it counter-clockwise.
3) Position the Headgear on your head, ensuring that the front of the headband
sits comfortably above your eyebrows. If the Headgear sits too high or two low
on your head, repeat step one.
4) Tighten the headband by pushing the knob at the back of the headband and
turning it clockwise.
5) Adjust the position of the Visi-Shield by turning the knobs on either side of the
Headgear. When properly positioned, the magnifying lens should be in your
normal line of sight.
6) It is critical that the top strap of the headgear be adjusted to allow the
rear section of the headgear to fit below the protuberance at the base
of your skull! The system will be extremely uncomfortable without this
adjustment! See Fig. 3 below.
Figure 3. v300/v600 Headgear Adjustment

v300/v600 Owner’s Manual
Doc #5002 (English) 07/2004 9
Wiring Setup (See Figures 1 or 2)
1) Plug the Upper DC Power Cable into the back of the Illuminator Module.
2) Plug the phone plug of the Upper DC Power Cable into either side of the Power
Control Module.
3) Plug the phone plug of the Lower DC Power Cable into the remaining side of
the Power Control Module.
4) Plug the female DIN connector of the Lower Power Cable into the male DIN
connector of the Power Supply.
5) Plug the IEC connector of the AC Power Cord into the IEC port on the Power
Supply.
6) Plug the AC plug of the AC Power Cord into an approved outlet.
After completing the wiring setup procedure, turn the switch of the Power Control
Module to on. You should immediately hear the fan of the Illuminator Module turn
on. To prevent shock to the Illuminator Module, the system is designed to gradually
turn on the Illuminator over a five second period.
IMPORTANT! If there is no evidence of the light or fan when you turn the
system on, immediately turn off the Power Control Module. Check the wiring
setup again.

Product Operation
The v300/v600 Visualization System is intended to enhance the vision of medical
professionals when used in the patient environment during inspections and
procedures.
The v300/v600 Visualization System is designed to enhance the surface or the sub-
surface features of a patient’s skin. This is accomplished by parallel-polarizing or
cross-polarizing the light emitted from the Illuminator Module. To change between
surface and sub-surface viewing mode, use the following simple procedure:
1) While wearing the Headgear, locate the Illuminator Module with your free hand.
2) Slide your hand down the Illuminator Module until you locate the adjustment
peg located at the front of the barrel.
3) Gently grasp the adjustment peg and rotate it as shown in Figure 4.
4) As worn on the head, the surface (parallel-polarized) mode will be seen
when the adjustment peg is at the 10 o’clock position. The sub-surface
(crossed-polarized) mode will be seen when the adjustment peg is at the
2 o’clock position.
NOTE: In order to observe the effects of the system, the user must be looking
through the Visi-Shield

Illuminator Replacement
As with any intense illumination source, the v300/v600 Illuminator Module will wear
out with use. High output cooling of the Illuminator Module extends the expected
life to 400+ hours under normal conditions. Spare Illuminator Modules can be
purchased to enable the user to continue use with minimal interruption in the event
of an Illuminator Module failure. It is highly recommended that a spare Illuminator
Module be kept on hand.
Please use the following procedures to replace the Illuminator Module in either your
v300 or v600 Visualization System. If you have any questions, please contact our
service group at 800.714.1374 or 207.657.7050.
Illumination Condition Indicator
The v300/v600 Series is equipped with one of the most sophisticated diagnostic
systems of any lighting or vision system in the medical world. A powerful
microprocessor constantly monitors the entire system of the lighting and cooling to
ensure maximum performance. Part of this computer’s function set is a display of the
Illuminator Module’s (1 in Fig 1) condition. Three colored LED’s are installed to be
visible through the air outlet vents on the rear of the illuminator.
Green: Will remain visible for the first 75% of its life expectancy.
Yellow: Will indicate 5-24% of life expectancy remains. It is suggested to order
replacement at this point.
Red: Will indicate less than 5% of life expectancy remains. The bulb will alternate
dim and bright 7 times at startup during this critical stage showing that
the illuminator module has reached its life expectancy.
The LED’s flash a readout of the elapsed hours on the Illuminator Module 30 seconds
after the power is applied. The red LED flashes the number of hundreds of hours,
the yellow flashes the number of 10s of hours and the green flashes the number of
single hours, so 124 hours would be 1 red, 2 yellow and 4 green. This is followed
in another 15 seconds by a second series of flashes showing the number of on/off
cycles. This sequence differs from the first in that it is divided by 10, so 120 would be
1 yellow and 2 green flashes.
A typical life span for an Illuminator Module (1 in Fig 1) is in excess of 400
hours. Should your illuminator fail prior to 400 hours, a pro-rated warranty
will apply.

Handling, Cleaning, and Storage
To keep your v300/v600 Visualization System in optimum condition, please follow
the handling, cleaning, and storage guidelines.
Handling
To avoid scratching or smudging the Visi-Shield, handle the system by grasping
the headband.
The Upper and Lower DC Power Cords are built to be lightweight and are
therefore not armored. Use care when handling the power cords and ensure
that they are not pulled or pinched. Damaged cords may not be covered by the
limited product warranty.
Cleaning
Clean the system after every use that may have caused contamination.
Clean the entire product with approved disinfectant towelettes or towelettes
containing isopropyl alcohol.
Never clean any component of the system with hard or abrasive objects.
After cleaning the system, it is recommended that the Visi-Shield and magnifying
lenses be wiped with optical cloth or equivalent non-abrasive, non-linting cloth.
Never autoclave any component of the system.
Storage
To protect the system, it is suggested that it be stored in the box it was shipped in.
For short term storage, the Power Supply may remain plugged in, but the Power
Control Module should be turned off.
For long term storage, Power Supply should be unplugged.
