Directions for Use
DermLite handyscope® is a smartphone
dermatoscope with polarized and non-polarized
light, clinical illumination and wireless functional-
ity. It may be attached to most smartphones &
tablets using the included MagnetiConnect®
Clamp adapter (MCC). For certain mobile
devices with a backside not made of glass, the
included adhesive ring (R) adapter may be used.
Using the MagnetiConnect Clamp Adapter (Fig.
A)
Position the clamp (MC) over your smartphone's
main camera, then fasten it by tightening the
knob (KN). Attach the threaded magnetic ring
and place DermLite handyscope on it.
Using the Adhesive Ring (Fig. B)
If your device has a backside not made of glass,
you may use the adhesive Ring (R). Center the
30 mm crosshairs of the supplied Ring Applicator
(RA) over the camera and determine if your
smartphone or tablet computer (or its case) has
a flat, unobstructed area for placing the steel
Ring (R). If so, clean the area with the included
isopropyl alcohol wipe, remove the ring's
adhesive film (RF) to expose its adhesive and
press the Ring firmly on your device while
keeping the crosshairs aligned over your
camera. Remove the Ring Applicator. Place
Handyscope on the Ring, aligning its lens with
your smartphone camera. Handyscope will 'click'
into place when properly placed.
Using the DermLite Connection Kit (Fig. C)
Handyscope may also be used with DermLite
Connection Kits (CK), which are designed
specifically for each iPhone model and sold
separately.
Using DermLite handyscope
Press the power button (P) to activate the unit in
polarized mode, press it again to activate
non-polarized light. For clinical illumination,
press the power button a third time. For best
dermatoscopic results, contact the skin lesion
with the center of Handyscope's glass contact
plate (FP) and avoid using zoom. Push and hold
the button for about 1 second to turn off the unit.
In order to save power, the device turns off
automatically after 3 minutes.
Glass Faceplate
The snap-on glass faceplate (FP) may be
removed at the fingernail notches (FN).
Smartphone Pairing
To wirelessly pair Handyscope with your
smartphone, refer to a Handyscope-compatible
app.
IceCap®
To support your infection control measures, snap
one of the included disposable IceCaps (IC) over
the installed faceplate (FP). To remove and
dispose, simply pull it off.
Battery and Charging
CAUTION: This device uses a special 3.7V 670
mAh lithium ion battery, which can only be
purchased from DermLite or from an authorized
DermLite dealer. Do not under any circumstanc-
es use another battery other than the one
designed for this unit.
After hundreds of uses the battery will deterio-
rate, which may result in reduced capacity and/or
lithium-ion cell expansion. Monitor signs of a
deteriorated battery which may include reduced
battery life, unexpected shutdowns, erratic
behavior, or sudden power loss. If observed,
stop use of the device and do not charge the
battery. Replace the battery and dispose of the
original in accordance with local regulations.
This device is equipped with a four-level Charge
Indicator (CI). When the unit is turned on and
fully charged, all four LEDs light up. When less
than 75% of battery life remains, three LEDs are
illuminated. If more than half the battery is
drained, two LEDs are on, while a single LED
indicates that less than 25% of battery capacity
remains. To charge your device, connect the
supplied USB-C to USB cable to the Charging
Port (CP) and any IEC 60950-1 compliant (5V)
USB port. The Charge Indicator (CI) pulses to
indicate charging, with the number of pulsing
LEDs corresponding with charge level. When
charging is complete, all four indicator LEDs
illuminate. After years of use, you may wish to
re-place the battery, which is only available
directly from DermLite or an authorized DermLite
dealer. To change the battery, contact DermLite
or your local DermLite dealer.
