DermLite GL is a smartphone-compat-
ible polarized light examination device
with 6x and 1.4x magnification.
Hold your DermLite GL so that the LEDs
are aimed at the skin. Position the device
~25-50mm above the skin and push the
Power button (P) to activate one group
of LEDs. To activate the other group of
LEDs for the other magnification lens,
simply push the Power button (P) again.
Look through the lens with your eye 25-
50mm above your DermLite. Move the
device closer or farther away from the
skin to obtain the desired image focus. To
turn off your DermLite, push and hold the
Power button (P) for about one second;
the unit turns off automatically after 3 min-
utes. To help you approximate the size
of a skin lesion, the device has a 40mm
scale (MM) debossed into its housing.
Cap
To protect the optical areas after use,
slide the cap (C) over your unit. During
use, the cap can be attached over the oth-
er tail end of your DermLite.
Photography
DermLite GL may be attached to mobile
devices using DermLite adapters (sold
separately). Prior to taking photos at
the higher (6x) magnification, attach the
Spacer (S), ensuring it aligns with the
notch (N).
Battery and Charging
CAUTION: This device uses a special
3.7V 1300 mAh lithium ion battery, 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.
After hundreds of uses the battery will
deteriorate, which may result in reduced
capacity and/or lithium-ion cell expansion.
Monitor signs of a deteriorated battery
which may include reduced battery life,
unexpected shutdowns, erratic behavior,
or sudden power loss. If observed, stop
use of the device and do not charge the
battery. Replace the battery and dispose
of the original in accordance with local
regulations.
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 illuminated. 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 cor-
responding 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.
