Arclight modes

Back to Instructions

The Arclight has 3 modes (Standard, Eye & Ear) – the difference is which lights come on first.

In ‘Eye’ mode the ophthalmoscope light comes on first, in ‘Ear’ mode the otoscope light comes on first. In all modes the user can click through the other light combinations to select the one they want. If you leave more than 6 seconds between clicks the lights will turn off at the next click instead of moving to the next light combination.

  1. Both white lights (cover one you don’t need with your hand)
