Welch Allyn 71911 Instruction Manual

719 Series Lithium Ion Handle

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Welch Allyn 719 Series Lithium Ion Power Handle. The
handle is intended for use as a power source for all Welch Allyn standard instrument
heads. The 719 series represents a new generation of handles from Welch Allyn. Taking
advantage of new battery technology, the 719 series provides you double the on-time in a
smaller and lighter weight package. Smarter battery technology means that “memory” is
no longer an issue. What’s more, the 719 reminds you to recharge with its low battery
indicator. The soft rheostat section provides a sure grip and the overall design is
ergonomically sound.

This handle is chargeable in the Welch Allyn Universal Charger. It is also chargeable in
the Welch Allyn 7111x (obsolete) Desk Charger and most standard 120V ophthalmic
stands with the use of a Welch Allyn Well Adapter (see 71980/90 Well Adapter User
Manual for manufacturer/model chart).

Before using this product, please read the following
warnings and instructions.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Removing the old Battery Section:

1. Hold the instrument handle firmly by the Battery Section.

2. Turn the Rheostat Section Counterclockwise until it detaches from the Battery
Section (see figure 2).

Installing A New Battery Section

solution, 70% isopropyl alcohol, or a 10% bleach solution (by volume). Do not immerse.

NOTE: Excess solution entering the assembly could damage internal components. Use
caution to ensure cloth is not saturated with solution.

Do not sterilize the 719 Series Power Handle or Well Adapter.
