DermLite DL1 is a mobile device-com-
patible dermatoscope designed to view
skin lesions with high magnification and
clarity. Four LEDs provide bright, even il-
lumination, 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
color correction and reduced image dis-
tortion 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 tighten-
ing the knob (KN). Attach the threaded
magnetic 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.
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
faceplate with great care.

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 abra-
sive material on any part of the equip-
ment or immerse the device in liquid. Do

Battery and Charging
CAUTION: This device uses a special
3.7V 180 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 expan-
sion. Monitor signs of a deteriorated
battery which may include reduced
battery life, unexpected shutdowns, errat-
ic behavior, or sudden power loss. If ob-
served, 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 indica-
tor turns green and the device will allow
up to an hour of continuous operation. If
less than 25% battery life remains, the
indicator blinks.
