Table Holder for the Handpiece
While performing a procedure in a patient the hand-
piece can be placed in the enclosed table holder.
Operation
Selection of Exposure Mode
LED ON = "Expo-
nential"
LED OFF = "Stan-
dard"
Choose one of the two exposure methods by pressing
the "exp" button. The exposure method selector button
is inactive during exposure.
- "Exponential": The LED "+5" will light up.
- "Standard": The LED "+5" will not light up.

Exposure time options: 5, 10, 15 and 20 sec.
- Due to the high light output of the Elipar
FreeLight 2, these times are equivalent to 10, 20,
30 and 40 sec using a light polymerization unit
of conventional performance (between approx.
600 and 800 mW/cm
between 300 and 400 mW/cm
Thus, the normal exposure times for conventional
units can be cut in half without compromising
polymerization performance.
Obtain the exposure time from the instructions of the
product and divide it in half.
Select the exposure time by pressing the "sec" button.
- The selected exposure time is indicated by the
4 green LEDs.

- Each time the button is pressed, the setting
advances to the next (higher) value; from 20 sec
the exposure time setting returns to 5 sec. The
display advances through the available settings,
if the button is kept depressed.
- While exposure is ongoing, the button for selection
of the exposure time is inactive.
Activating and Deactivating the Light
Start/Stop button
Briefly press the green Start button; the light will turn
on.
- Initially, the LED's show the preset exposure time:
4 illuminated LED's represent 20 sec of exposure
time. After every 5 sec of exposure, one of the
LED's is turned off, i.e. 3 LED's correspond to
15 sec of exposure time remaining, 2 LED's to
10 sec of exposure time remaining, etc.
If desired, the light can be turned off by pressing the
green Start button again before the exposure time is
over.
Positioning the Light Guide
Rotate the light guide into the optimal position for
polymerization.
To make full use of the light intensity provided, place
the light guide as close to the filling as possible.
Avoid directly contacting the filling material!
- Keep the light guide clean at all times to obtain
full light intensity.
- Damaged light guides substantially reduce
the light intensity and must be replaced
immediately, sharp edges may cause serious
injury!
