indicator for the battery) flashes after the instrument has
been connected to the power supply. Let the battery of the
hand piece charge for a minimum of five hours before initial
use.
Important:
The hand piece and the calibration holder will have
the same serial number (fig. 1); if not, contact VITA (Vident
for North America only) immediately. The base unit has
a different serial number.
1.3 System setup
Open the packaging of VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 and
remove the Quick Guide, the CD-ROM containing the
Operating Instructions and VITA ShadeAssist, the Easyshade
Advance 4.0 hand piece, base unit, the calibration block holder and power supply. Attach the calibration block holder as
shown in fig. 2. The green power LED flashes on the base
unit once the power supply is connected to the wall electrical outlet with a suitable adapter. Place the base unit on a
flat surface. Insert the Easyshade Advance 4.0 hand piece

1.4 Applying an infection control shield.
It is important to properly clean and disinfect the instrument between patient
uses and to use a new Easyshade infection control shield for each patient
to prevent patient cross-contamination.
The infection control shield also protects the fiber optics in the instrument
from damage.
1. Insert the tip of the hand piece into the shield
2. Remove paper backing from the shield
3. Pull shield carefully over the hook
4. Secure shield on the hook
Verify that the infection control shield is stretched uniformly
and flat over the face of the probe tip, and is not torn
during application (fig. 3+4).
Then calibrate the instrument as described in section 1.6.
The infection control shield should remain in place for all
measurements with the same patient.
These non-sterile covers are for single patient use only and should
be properly disposed of.
Note: An infection control shield that has come into contact
with a patient must not contact the calibration block assembly.
If contact occurs, follow the instructions for cleaning and
disinfection of the calibration block assembly in section 11.

1.5 Power-on
Turn on the VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 by pressing and holding any button
on the handpiece for at least two seconds.
1.6 Calibration
The unit may only be calibrated with a new anti-infection cover in order
to prevent patient to patient cross-contamination.
1.6.1 Automatic calibration
If the base unit is connected to a power source, the calibration procedure
is carried out automatically.
Place the instrument in the calibration block holder so that the probe tip
is flush with and perpendicular to the calibration block and depresses
the calibration block (fig. 6). Make sure that the hand piece is fully seated
in the calibration holder. Do not press the measurement switch when the unit
is calibrated automatically.
A green LED in the center of the base unit is lit and shortly afterwards
the hand piece probe will illuminate the calibration block (fig. 7).
Initial calibration may take a few seconds after the unit is switched on.
Two short beeps indicate completion of calibration.
Note: Before carrying out any measurement, the unit must
be calibrated. If power is not available to the base unit,
the unit must be calibrated manually (section 1.6.2).

After successful calibration, the measurement menu is displayed (fig. 8)
and the unit is ready for use. The measurement mode used last is highlighted and activated after pressing the Select key.
If a single "beep" sounds, an error message is displayed
on the screen as shown (fig. 9).
Calibration has failed and must be repeated (see section 12.2).
Note: Make sure not to block the IR ports above the labels
located on the hand piece and the base unit (see IR ports, fig.10).
Avoid placing the base unit in the vicinity of a powerful infrared
light source (such as sunlight or an incandescent light),
which may interfere with the signal transmission between
the base unit and the hand piece.
During automatic calibration, do not press the measurement button.

1.6.2 Manual calibration
The instrument can also be calibrated when a power source is not available for
the base unit (the green Power LED is not flashing). For this purpose select the
Calibration icon in the Settings menu (fig. 11), which you can access from the
Toolbar icon.
Place the hand piece in the calibration block holder and press the measurement
switch to activate the calibration procedure. The beeps indicate that the unit
has been calibrated successfully.
Note: VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 is pre-calibrated at the factory for the
calibration block that is shipped with the instrument and may only be used
with this calibration block. If you own more than one VITA Easyshade
Advance 4.0, care must be taken not to switch calibration blocks between
VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 units, which may adversely affect the accuracy
of measurements.
Make sure that the serial number on the hand piece matches the serial
number on the calibration block holder (see section 1.2).
1.6.3 Monitoring the calibration
Due to environmental changes or after repeated use, it may be necessary
to re-calibrate the instrument when performing repeated measurements.
The animated Calibration icon, as shown in figure 12, indicates that
the instrument must be re-calibrated.
Note: An anti-infection cover that has come into contact
with a patient must not contact the calibration block assembly.
If this occurs, follow the instructions for cleaning and disinfection
of the calibration block assembly in section 11.
If error No. 106 is displayed, the instrument must be re-calibrated.
