INTENDED USE
The Microlux 2 Transilluminator is intended to be used by a dentist or dental professional as an
adjunct to traditional oral examination. It is used for trans- illumination of the teeth, using high
intensity LED light, thus aiding clinical dental examinations. Trans-illumination helps to visualize
crown fractures, caries and root canal orifice.
OPERATION AND FIRST TIME USE
Note: The Microlux 2 accepts all original Microlux light guides.
Operation: Press the blue on/off button to turn the unit on. The LED turns on in 'High Intensity'
mode. If the button is pressed a 2nd time the light output is reduced to approximately one-third, or
'Low Intensity' mode for better photos. When the button is pressed a 3rd time the unit turns off.
Low battery indicator: The LED will blink twice when unit is powered up and automatically
switches to low intensity mode to conserve power.
Auto Turn Off: The Microlux 2 unit will automatically turn itself off after 7 minutes of use to con-
serve battery power.
Constant Light Output: Built in regulator circuit produces constant light output regardless of
battery charge level.
