DermLite DL1 is a mobile device-com-
patible dermatoscope designed to view
skin lesions with high magnification and
clarity. Four LEDs provide bright, even
illumination, and a cross-polarized spacer
provides a glare-free image by cancelling
the reflected light from the skin. A high
quality, three-element lens configuration,
designed to provide excellent results with
leading mobile devices, offers superb col-
or correction and reduced image distortion
for images rich in surface detail.
Your DL1 is equipped with a magnetic
adapter called MagnetiConnect® Clamp
("MCC"), designed for attaching DL1 to
most smartphones and tablets. To attach
MCC, position the clamp (MC) over the
main camera, then secure it by tightening
the knob (KN). Attach the threaded mag-
netic ring and place DL1 on it.
With its cross-polarized Spacer (B) and
glass contact plate (E) installed, place
DL1's contact plate directly on the skin.
Applying an immersion fluid onto the skin
may improve the image. Push the power
button (C) to activate the light; push it
again to turn it off. To conserve power,
your DL1 is designed to automatically turn
off after 2 minutes.
For non-polarized dermoscopy, remove
the polarized Spacer with your thumb,
then slide the included non-polarized
Spacer over the device. Attaching the in-
cluded cross-polarized Clip (H) turns your
DL1 into an ultra-compact dermatoscope
that fits into any pocket.
Glass Contact Plate
The unit's glass contact plate (E) may
be removed for cleaning or non-contact
imaging by rotating the bayonet ring (D)
counter-clockwise. Handle the glass face-
plate with great care.

ment is allowed.
Your device is designed for trouble-free
operation. Repairs shall be made only by
qualified service personnel.
Cleaning
The exterior of your device, except the
optical parts, may be wiped clean with
isopropyl alcohol (70% vol.) prior to use
on a patient. The lens should be treated
as high-quality photographic equipment
and should be cleaned with standard lens
cleaning equipment and protected from
harmful chemicals. Do not use abrasive
material on any part of the equipment
or immerse the device in liquid. Do not
autoclave.
Battery and Charging
CAUTION: This device uses a special
3.7V 200 mAh lithium ion battery, which
can only be purchased from DermLite or
from an authorized DermLite dealer. Do
not under any circumstances use another
battery other than the one designed for
this unit.
After hundreds of uses the battery will
deteriorate, 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.
Prior to using the DL1, connect the wider
connector of the provided USB cable to
any IEC 60950-1 compliant (5V) USB port
(e.g. of a laptop, desktop computer, or
Apple charger) and the other end to the
DL1 Micro USB charging port (CP). The
charging indicator (G) will illuminate red
to indicate that the DL1 is being charged.
When fully charged, the indicator turns
green and the device will allow up to an
hour of continuous operation. If less than
25% battery life remains, the indicator
blinks.
DermLite DL1 components include:
DL1 dermatoscope (four white LEDs,
three-element lens, faceplate with 10mm
reticle, battery), cross-polarized spacer
with contact plate, non-polarized spacer,
polarized clip, charging cable, Magneti-
Connect Clamp adapter
Warranty: 5 years for parts and labor. The
battery is warranted for 1 year.
