WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Read all instructions before operating this unit. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from the improper use of
this unit and/or for any purpose other than those covered by these instructions.
• VALO GRAND Corded curing light emits high intensity light very similar to high intensity Quartz halogen lights and must only be used as indicated in
this manual.
• DO NOT look directly into the light output. Patient, clinician, and assistants should always wear amber UV eye protection when VALO GRAND
Corded curing light is in use.
• USE CAUTION when treating patients who suffer from adverse photobiological reactions or sensitivities, patients who are undergoing
chemotherapy treatment, or patients being treated with photosensitizing medication.
• DO NOT expose soft oral tissues at close proximity for more than 10 seconds in any mode. If longer curing time is required, use multiple shorter
curing cycles to avoid heating soft tissue, or use a dual-cure product.
• If using VALO GRAND Corded curing light in close proximity to the gingiva, DO NOT expose tissue for more than 20 seconds. If a 40-second cure
is needed, allow 10 seconds between two 20-second cures. If longer curing is required, consider a dual-cure product.
• The Xtra Power mode has a 2-second safety delay to limit heating during consecutive curing. At the end of the delay, beeping indicates unit is
ready for continued use.
• Take extra care to avoid directing light toward soft tissues.
• WARNING: No modication of this equipment is allowed.
• When disposing of electronic waste, (i.e. devices, chargers, batteries and power supplies), follow local waste and recycling guidelines.
General Information:
Indications for Use: The source of illumination for curing photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives.
VALO GRAND Corded curing light is an LED curing light for the polymerization of light cured dental materials. With its broadband spectrum, VALO
GRAND Corded curing light is designed to polymerize all light cured products in the wavelength range of 385-515nm per ISO 10650.
VALO GRAND Corded curing light has a medical grade, international power supply and is suitable for power outlets from 100 to 240 volts. The
handpiece is designed to rest in a standard dental unit bracket or can be custom mounted using the bracket included with the kit.
Product Components:
• 1 – VALO GRAND Corded curing light with 7 foot / 2.1 meter cord
• 1 – 9 volt, medical grade, international power supply with 6 foot / 1.8 meter cord and universal plugs

Instructions for Use:
1 - Connect the 9-volt power cord to the handpiece cord.
2 - Plug the power cord into any electrical outlet (100 -240 VAC). The timing lights will illuminate indicating the light is ready for use. The VALO
GRAND Corded curing light handpiece beeps twice when powering on.
3 - Place the VALO GRAND Corded curing light handpiece into a standard dental unit mounting bracket or accessory mounting bracket until ready to use.
4 - Prior to use, place barrier sleeve over VALO GRAND Corded curing light wand.
5 - Select the desired mode: VALO GRAND Corded curing light has 3 modes: Standard Power, High Power Plus, and Xtra Power. Each mode is
identied by the Mode/Status Light (green = Standard Power, orange = High Power Plus, ashing orange = Xtra Power). To change modes, hold
the Time/Mode Change button for 2 seconds and release. The Mode/Status light will change to the next mode.
NOTE: VALO GRAND Corded curing light is programmed to cycle from the Standard Power to the High Power Plus to the Xtra Power mode in
sequence. For example, to change from the Standard Power mode to the Xtra Power mode, it is necessary to cycle into the High Power Plus mode
and then to the Xtra Power mode.
VALO GRAND Corded curing light always stores its last used timing interval in each mode and will default back to that timing interval whenever the
modes are changed, or if the unit is unplugged and loses power.
SLEEP MODE: VALO GRAND Corded curing light will go into SLEEP mode after 1 hour of inactivity, as indicated by the green mode light blinking
slowly. Press any button to wake VALO GRAND Corded curing light and begin curing. VALO GRAND Corded curing light will automatically return to the
last setting used.
Precaution: Always wear amber colored safety glasses while the curing light is illuminated.

Exposure times may need to be adjusted due to composite reactivity, shade, distance from the light lens to the composite, and depth of composite
layer if it is over 2mm.

CURING MODE: Standard Power mode
USES: Curing of restorative materials with photo initiators.
TIMING INTERVALS: 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds.
• VALO GRAND Corded curing light defaults to this mode when it is INITIALLY powered on. The Status Light is green and the green Timing Lights
are solidly illuminated.
• To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
CURING MODE: High Power Plus mode
USES: Curing of restorative materials with photo initiators.
TIMING INTERVALS: 1, 2, 3, 4 seconds.
• From Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds. The green Timing Lights will illuminate and ash. The
Status Light will illuminate as a solid orange light, indicating High Power Plus mode.A two-second power tack is the most commonly used timing
interval in this mode.
• To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to the completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
• To return to Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds, this will cycle to Xtra Power Mode, then release,
hold for 2seconds, and release.The green light will be solid with solid green timing lights, indicating Standard mode.
CURING MODE: Xtra Power mode
USES: Curing of restorative materials with photo initiators.
TIMING INTERVAL: 3 seconds only (Note: there is a 2 second safety delay at the end of each curing cycle).
• From the Standard Power mode, press the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds, release, press again for 2 seconds, and release. Three of
the green Timing Lights and the orange Status Light will illuminate and ash, indicating Xtra Power mode.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
• To return to the Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time Button for 2 seconds.
WARNING: In Xtra Power mode, DO NOT expose soft tissue for more than 10 seconds. The Xtra Power mode has a 2-second safety delay to limit
heating during consecutive curing. At the end of the delay, beeping indicates unit is ready for continued used. If a longer cure is needed, allow 10
seconds between consecutive cures or consider a dual-cure product (composite or adhesive).
Note: If it is necessary to cure near soft tissue, cooling with an air stream is an option for keeping the area cooler.
