Running-time meter

The running-time meter measures the burn- ing time of the lamp, not the switch-on time of the Leica EL6000 compact light source. The running-time meter displays its current status in this format: hours – minutes.

1.Press the reset button to set the running- time meter of the lamp to "0".

The running-time meter should be reset after every lamp replacement so that it always displays the current, accurate lamp life.

Discontinue using the built-in lamp when it reaches the end of the life specified by the manufacturer.

Shutter control

ρρ In the "open" position, the shutter of the Leica EL 6000 is open—regardless of the signal from the remote control.

ρρ If the shutter control is in the "remote" posi- tion, the shutter is controlled by the remote control.

Intensity switch

The intensity switch provides optical dimming of the light in five fixed increments.
