Guidelines for the safe use of the Solid State
Portable Headlight
General practices to minimize risk of harm to the skin
from optical radiation hazards include: minimizing
illumination intensity at the tissue examination site,
minimizing exposure times, and taking additional
precautions when skin sensitivity has been altered
through tissue trauma or the use of anesthesia.
General good practices to minimize risk of harm to the
eyes from optical radiation hazards include: Avoiding
looking at bright light sources and their reflections, and
protect eyes where normal pupil sizes and aversion
responses are not present.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Solid State Portable Headlight by Welch Allyn,
the worldwide leader in illuminated medical diagnostic instrumentation. By
following the use and care guidelines supplied in this owner’s manual, you
will enjoy years of dependable, trouble-free service from your new

Set-up and Operation
Instructions for Use
The Solid State Portable Headlight (REF 46070), consisting of Portable
Headlight with soft terry cloth headband (REF 46000) and charger/direct
power source (REF 74170). The Solid State Portable Headlight is designed
to operate off the battery or direct power source. The headlight is provided
fully assembled to operate in the portable operation mode. All headlights
are shipped with the batteries discharged. Charge the batteries prior to
use. Once the unit is charged, turn the power switch, located at the top of
the luminaire, to the on position. To operate the headlight using the direct
power source, insert the charger/direct power source (REF 74170) into the
input port located on the top of the luminaire (see photo below). To charge
the battery pack, connect the charger/direct power source (REF 74170) into
the top of the luminaire (see photo below). To adjust the spot size, rotate
the front section of the luminaire. To adjust the headband, simply move the
Velcro adjustable headband to a comfortable position.
Use the Solid State Portable Headlight to provide illumination while
performing a number of activities in the physician’s office, hospital, or
emergency environment such as minor suturing, general exam, and foreign
body removal.
Follow the assembly instructions listed below and the
corresponding photographs.

On/Off Switch
Holding the luminaire
with the on/off switch in
the up position, place
the visor section of the
luminaire into the
openings located in the
front section of the terry
cloth headband.
Cleaning (Recommended monthly)
Excess solution entering the luminaire assembly could damage
internal components. Use caution to ensure cloth is not
saturated with solution.
1. Unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
.
2. Wipe down the entire luminaire with a cloth slightly dampened
with a mild solution of detergent. The terry cloth headband is
removable and is machine washable.
3. Do not operate the light until the light is thoroughly dry.
Do not sterilize the unit.

Maintenance
Each month examine cords and connections. The user can perform battery
and/or headband replacement on an as needed basis. Return the unit to an
authorized Welch Allyn Technical Service Department or distributor for
additional servicing. See “Service and Warranty Information” section.
Battery Charging
The fully drained battery will reach a 90% charge retention in approximately
three hours of continuous charging. This is approximately 25% longer if the
charging is happening at a temperature less than 15° C. Proportional usage
will require a proportional charge time such as if the product is used for 15
minutes, charge the battery for 45 minutes to reach a 90% capacity.
Overnight charging brings the battery to its 100% full capacity.
Charging the unit while operating will significantly increase the charge time
to over 12 hours to obtain a 90% charge level.
This battery pack does not exhibit any memory problems that exist with
NiCad batteries. However, like other products where batteries are used,
remove the battery from the product when the product is in storage or
when not in use for extended periods beyond 6 months. If the battery is left
in the product for extended periods of time, the battery will drain down to
an unusable level and require charging prior to use.
Battery Replacement
Drop the battery pack
into the luminaire visor
and plug into the
connector.
CAUTION: Do not immerse in cleaning solutions.

Guideance
The REF 46000 uses RF energy only for
its internal function. Therefore, its RF
emissions are very low and are not likely
to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment.
The REF 46000 is suitable for use in all
establishments, including domestic, and
those directly connected to the public
low-voltage power supply network that
supplies buidlings used for domestic
purposes.
