DermLite Foto X is a polarized and
non-polarized dermatoscope designed
for use with a wide range of cameras and
mobile devices.
IceCap®
To support your infection control mea-
sures, snap one of the included dis-
posable IceCaps (IC) over the installed
faceplate (FP). To remove and dispose,
simply pull it off.
Foto X may be attached to many camer-
as or smartphones via either a magnetic
or purely threaded connection. For use
with MagnetiConnect® adapters (sold
separately), screw the Ring Adapter
(RA) onto the 37 mm thread (37). To
create a threaded connection with your
camera, remove the Ring Adapter (RA)
and thread the Foto X onto a compatible
camera or threaded camera adapter*.
Place the unit onto the skin, then push
the Power button (P) to activate the
light. Tapping the power button toggles
between polarized and non-polarized
light. Move between four brightness
levels via the Brightness Buttons (BB).
To adjust focus, turn the Spacer (S) as
needed; aligning the Focus Marks (FM)
creates the ideal focal distance for most
photography.
To turn off your DermLite, push and
hold the Power button (P) for about one
second; the unit turns off automatically
after 3 minutes.
*Note that many cameras require the
use of an additional adapter made by the
camera manufacturer or a photography
supply company.
Removing the Spacer
The Spacer (S) may be removed by
turning it counter-clockwise past a slight
resistance. When reattaching, make sure
its three small protrusions match up with
the Bayonet Slot (BS).
Removing the Faceplate
The Faceplate (FP) may simply be pulled
off the Spacer (S) by grabbing it at the
fingernail notches.
Battery and Charging
CAUTION: This device uses a special
3.7V 360 mAh (2pcs) lithium ion bat-
tery, which can only be purchased from
DermLite or from an authorized DermLite
dealer. Do not under any circumstances
use another battery other than the one
designed for this unit.
This device is equipped with a four-level
Charge Indicator (CI). When the unit
is turned on and fully charged, all four
LEDs light up. When less than 75% of
battery life remains, three LEDs are illu-
minated. If more than half the battery is
drained, two LEDs are on, while a single
LED indicates that less than 25% of
battery capacity remains. To charge your
device, connect the supplied USB-C to
USB cable to the Charging Port (CP) and
any IEC 60950-1 compliant (5V) USB
port. The Charge Indicator (CI) pulses
to indicate charging, with the number of
pulsing LEDs corresponding with charge
level. When charging is complete, all four
indicator LEDs illuminate. After years
of use, you may wish to re-place the
battery, which is only available directly
from DermLite or an authorized DermLite
dealer. To change the battery, contact
DermLite or your local DermLite dealer.
