User`s guide

length is adjusted by rotating the adjustment ring at the back end
of the camera. While this is not a difficult maneuver, you proba-
bly will not be changing the settings during an exam. There are
four settings: (1) E mode is for extraoral use and depth of focus is
about 40mm (smile) to infinity (full face), (2) W mode is for
wide-angle intraoral viewing from two teeth to a quadrant, (3) C
mode is a close-up mode for viewing of one or two teeth, and (4)
M mode provides Macro focusing with an increased magnification
to as close as 1mm, which allows you to see the minor cracks on
teeth.
Utilizes a SuperHAD 1/4” Sony Grade 6 CCD. The video
processor technology provides automatic light intensity control,
which eliminates glare and reflections from amalgams and pro-
duces true intraoral colors. The direction of view is 62˚, which is
from 15˚ to 5.5˚ backward viewing. This improves overall access,
which enables easier viewing of the distal surfaces of second and
third molars. Unlike most intraoral cameras that use simple prisms
to obtain a 90˚-80˚ direction of view, which inverts the image, it
uses a non-inverting roof prism.

Camera Cord
Measures 6.0ft/1.8m. White color, not very flexible. It is attached
to the docking station by a metal cylinder that inserts into a sim-
ple recess. To remove the camera from the docking station, you
merely pull out the connector, a movement that can be done with
one hand. To reconnect the camera to the docking station, you
need to line up the red dot indicators before you completely insert
it. You will hear a slight click indicating that the camera is prop-
erly connected. Damage could occur to the camera and/or
docking station if this maneuver is not done properly.
Docking station
White plastic measuring 10.0in/25.4cm in width, 12.0in/30.5cm
in depth, and 3.5in/8.9cm in height. The camera sits in a con-
venient holder on the right side of the camera and automatically
turns on when picked up. It has six control buttons: (1) Printer
icon to facilitate printing. (2) Bulb icon that turns the light on or
off. (3) Page icon shows a 4-way split to indicate this will allow
you to capture four separate images on the screen. (4) Camera
icon indicating the capture function. (5) M/Hand piece icon but-
ton toggles between live images and images stored in memory. (6)
1/2 button lets you toggle between video signal 1 and 2.
There are also four manipulation buttons for the images: (1)
Tooth and a magnifying glass, which magnifies the image from the
center only. (2) Two teeth flipped vertically, to flip it. (3) Two
teeth left and right of each other that flips the image horizontally.
(4) Tooth with arrows circling it, which is for rotating the image.
Light Source
Uses a 75 watt halogen bulb. Transmitted through two bars on the
left and right of the lens.
Footpedal
Wired. Has two sections: C and M. C is for capture and M is for
memory. Click on C one time to freeze the image. If the captured
image is flickering on the screen, click C one more time. Then
click and hold down C to save the image to memory and to return
to the capture mode (live). Double-click C to print the image you
have captured (assuming the system is connected to a printer).
Click on M to preview pictures stored on to the memory board.
Directions
The instruction manual is 220 pages and includes five languages (44
pages per language). The manual covers operation, how to connect
the system, how to place the sheaths, how to replace the light bulb,
cleaning and sterilization, and warranty. It is spiral bound, well writ-
ten and easy to understand and follow with pictures and graphics.
