Set the base on a level surface. Place the DermLite onto the base, and
the “3” will illuminate red to indicate that the DermLite DL3N is being
charged. When the lithium battery is fully charged and either in its base
or outside its base and powered on, the “3” is green and the device will
allow up to 2 hours of continuous operation, or enough power for imag-
ing approximately 600 lesions at 30 seconds per examination. If less than
25% battery life remains, the “3” will turn orange.
After approximately 1,000 charges, the battery’s capacity will diminish
and the battery may need to be replaced. To remove the battery, slide
the rubber handle (G) back and completely off the device. Disconnect the
small white battery plug and remove the battery. Insert a new battery
and reconnect the battery plug. Slide the rubber handle securely onto
the device.
CAUTION: Your DermLite DL3N uses a special lithium battery, which
can only be purchased from 3Gen or from an authorized 3Gen dealer.
Do not under any circumstances use another battery other than the one
designed for this unit. Doing so could result in damage to the unit. Also,
do not under any circumstances use another charger other than the one
supplied with the unit.
Using the Lanyard
CAUTION: Lanyards pose a strangulation risk. Use with caution.
Run the short, thin portion string through the eyelet (H) located at the
end of the device. Feed the other end of the lanyard through the loop
made by the thin string (I). Separate the DermLite from the lanyard by
squeezing the snap connector (J).
