below. Note that any error code is accompanied by a triple audible
tone from the handpiece upon the start of the condition and
whenever the handpiece is triggered while in an error state.
In the event of a malfunction of the device, the LCD will show an
error code (e.g. "E1") in place of the curing time indicator
(Figure 9).
Error Code E1
Figure 9
NOTE: The handpiece functions will fail to activate if any error
code is displayed in the LCD. See Error Codes below for
more information.
1. Error Code E1: This code results from an inability of the battery
to provide sufficient current to drive the SmartLite iQ2 unit.
Check to ensure that the handpiece battery is adequately
charged. The unit will automatically exit the error state upon
being recharged.
2. Error Code E2: This code results from improper contact
between the charging base and handpiece. Check to ensure
that the handpiece is seated properly on the charging base. The
unit will automatically exit the error state upon being properly
seated on the charging base.
3. Error Code E3: This code results from overheating of the
internal components of the light. It will be necessary to allow
time for the unit to cool before further use. The unit will
automatically exit the error state upon reaching operational
temperature.
NOTE: If any of these conditions persist, contact DENTSPLY
Caulk Professional Services at 1-800-532-2855 ext. 249.
Customers outside the USA should contact their nearest
DENTSPLY location, as listed in back of this manual.
MAINTENANCE
Battery Care
Under normal use there is no special care required for the battery.
However, if the unit is in storage for an extended period of time
and disconnected from a power source, it is recommended that
the handpiece be recharged at least once per year.
Battery Replacement
Replacement batteries are available through your authorized
DENTSPLY distributor. Use only the replacement battery specified
by DENTSPLY.
1. To replace the battery, open the battery door located in the
handle of the handpiece (Figure 10). To open the battery door,
squeeze with thumb and forefinger on sides of the battery door
and pull outward (Figure 11).
2. To remove the battery, gently pull battery plug out of the receptor
and replace with new battery (Figure 12). Do NOT remove the
protective foam from the new battery.
NOTE: Allow new battery to charge for at least 2-hours prior to
first use.

3. If the battery is changed or otherwise disconnected from the
handpiece for any reason, the curing mode selection will be lost
and the unit will revert to the default settings.
Battery Disposal
The battery used in the SmartLite iQ2 unit may be disposed of
through normal refuse-disposal channels per local regulations. IN
ORDER TO AVOID INJURY OR CHEMICAL HAZARD, DO NOT
DESTROY OR TAMPER WITH THE BATTERY PACK.
CLEANING/DISINFECTION/STERILIZATION
Curing Probe Care
• The use of clear (non-opaque), non-powdered barriers is accept-
able and does not affect the curing capability of the curing light.
• Do not remove curing probe from handpiece until handpiece
cleaning and disinfection is completed as outlined.
• Remove probe from handpiece as described in the Installation
6
section. The removed curing probe may be cleaned by scrubbing
with hot water and soap or detergent. Any adherent contaminants
such as cured resin materials on the light probe should be
removed with a rigid plastic or sharp metal instrument to ensure
proper light transmission and curing of VLC materials. Take care
not to scratch the polished ends of curing probes.
• Always protect ends of the light probes from abrasive materials.
Should the polished ends become marred or scratched, light
transmission and curing performance will be diminished.
• The curing probe exposed to splatter or spray of body fluids or
that may have been touched by contaminated hands, or oral
tissues, should be steam autoclaved.
Alternatively, the curing probe may be disinfected with a hospital-
level disinfectant. Acceptable disinfectants are those that are
EPA-registered as tuberculocidal. Iodophors, sodium hypochlorite
(5.25%), chlorine dioxide and dual or synergized quaternary
ammoniums are approved disinfectants. Do not immerse curing
probe in disinfectant. Disinfect the probe by spraying or wiping.
Spraying with glutaraldehyde is not recommended. Water-based
disinfectant solutions are preferred. The disinfectant manufacturer's
directions should be followed properly for optimum results.
• Use of alcohol or glutaraldehyde based disinfectant solutions
will void the SmartLite iQ2 unit warranty.
• It is recommended that probe performance be verified prior to
next use using the built-in radiometer on the base/charger unit.
NOTE: If debris cannot be removed or if the probe is damaged
(chips, scratches, etc.) it is recommended that the curing
probe be replaced.
Handpiece and Charging Base Care
• Disconnect the power supply plug from the power outlet and
charging base prior to cleaning.
• Keep the curing probe installed in the handpiece when
disinfecting the unit.
• Prior to disinfection, thoroughly wipe all surfaces and the
disconnected power supply plug, clean with a damp towel (with
mild detergent if needed). Properly discard used towel.
• Handpiece and/or charging base exposed to spatter or spray of
body fluids, or touched by contaminated hands or oral tissues,
should be disinfected with a hospital-level disinfectant.
Acceptable disinfectants are those that are EPA-registered as
tuberculocidal. Sodium hypochlorite (5.25%), chlorine dioxide
and dual or synergized quaternary ammoniums are approved
disinfectants. Do not immerse units in disinfectant. Disinfect the
units by spraying disinfectant solution onto a paper towel and
wiping or wiping with impregnated wipes. Do not spray
disinfectant directly onto the units or allow solution to penetrate
the casing. Spraying with glutaraldehyde is not recommended.
Some phenolic-based agents and iodophor-based products may
cause surface staining. Agents containing organic solvents such
as alcohol may tend to degrade the plastic surfaces. The
disinfectant manufacturer's directions should be followed
properly for optimum results. Water-based disinfectant solutions
are preferred.
• Use of alcohol, phenolic, iodophor or glutaraldehyde based
disinfectant solutions will void the SmartLite iQ2 unit warranty.
• DO NOT immerse unit in water or disinfectant. Wipe – do not
spray – solution (with curing probe in place) onto plastic parts.
Prevent liquids from entering openings on unit.
• Reconnect the power supply plug to the power outlet and the
charging base unit when the cleaning and disinfection process is
completed.
Protective Light Shield Care
• Remove the light shield from the curing probe prior to cleaning
and/or disinfection.
• The light shield may be cleaned by scrubbing with hot water and
soap or detergent. The light shield exposed spatter or spray of
body fluids or that may have been touched by contaminated
hands, or oral tissues, should be disinfected with a hospital-level
disinfectant. Acceptable disinfectants are EPA-registered as
tuberculocidal. Sodium hypochlorite (5.25%), phenolics and dual
or synergized quaternary ammoniums are approved disinfectants.
Disinfect the light shield by spraying with or immersing hospital-
level disinfectant for the contact time recommended by the
disinfectant manufacturer for optimum results. Spraying with
glutaraldehyde is not recommended. Agents containing organic
solvents, such as alcohol, should be avoided, as they may tend
to dissolve the plastic. Water-based disinfectant solutions are
preferred.
• The disinfectant manufacturer's directions should be followed
properly for optimum results.
• Following disinfection, thoroughly rinse and dry the light shield
before storage. Autoclaving the light shield is not recommended.
