You have purchased the VistaCam Omni ic 4, the latest camera that is the heart of the VistaCam video imaging product line from Air Techniques, a leading manufacturer of dental equipment since 1962. The VistaCam Omni ic 4 consists of a camera and handpiece unit with integral image capture capabilities, and a Docking Station with power supply, lamp and fan.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR VISTACAM OMNI ic 4 The OPERATION section of this manual covers three installation scenarios: 1. Cart, Counter-Top or Wall-Mount System 2. Multi-Operatory Installation w/o interoperatory wiring 3. Multi-Operatory Network with QDA (Queuing Distribution Amplifier) For all installation scenarios, follow these steps: 1.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK For the VistaCam Omni ic 4, the Image Printer is factory pre-set for a SINGLE image to appear on the monitor and pre-set to produce printouts with the same color fidelity as appears on the monitor. Since proper Image Printer set-up is critical, we recommend the following PRE-INSTALLATION checks for optimum system performance.
