Using the Console Controls
Powering On the Camera
Press the power switch to power the camera on or off.
Using the White Balance Switch
The WHITE BALANCE switch is used to correct slight color differences
that exist between different light sources or endoscopes. Perform the
white balance procedure before every surgical procedure.
Note Ensure a scope and light source are attached to the
camera and that the camera, light source, and monitor are
powered on before adjusting the white balance.
1. Point the scope at several stacked 4x4 white gauze pads, a white
laparoscopic sponge, or any clean white surface.
2. Look at the monitor and make sure that no glare is visible off of
the white surface.
3. Press and hold the WHITE BALANCE button until “WB” begins
flashing on the video monitor.
4. Continue pointing the scope at the white surface until the video
monitor indicates that white balance is “OK.” The video picture
will change color.
• If the video monitor indicates that white balance is “NOT
GOOD,” repeat the process.
• If you cannot achieve a white balance that is “OK,” refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
