CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE ANY OBJECTS ON ANY PLATE CONNECTED TO THE CV6000 WHILE THE POWER IS ON. TURN POWER OFF FIRST, PLACE SUBJECT ON PLATE, AND THEN TURN POWER ON. BRINGING OBJECTS NEAR THE PLATE WITHOUT DIRECTLY CONTACTING IT WHILE THE PLATE IS ENERGIZED CAN CAUSE ARCS TO SHOOT OUT OF THE PLATE TO THE OBJECT.

Transparent Electrode
1. Connect the output of the CV6000 to the transparent electrode using the provided connector cable.

2. Turn the INTENSITY control to a high voltage by turning the knob clockwise. Be careful not to turn the knob too far clockwise- the voltage will decrease or stop altogether.

3. Place the subject on the glass near the center. In the case of a human subject, simply rest the part of the body you are viewing on the plate. If you are viewing fingertips, just rest the fingertips on the glass plate. In the case of small specimens, such as a coin or leaf, it will be neccesary to ground the object using the supplied ground wire. In the case of a leaf or other thin or light specimen, you may need to weigh the object down with a plastic square.

4. Push the pulse button, to check the image. If the image is too dim, perhaps the intensity is not high enough, or there is too much surface area of the specimen against the plate. In the case of a human hand, try only the fingertips first, and slowly put more of the hand into contact with the plate. Only very light contact is neccesary. If you press the specimen against the plate too hard, the image will become too dim. DO NOT PUSH THE PULSE BUTTON UNLESS THERE IS A SUBJECT ON THE PLATE

Using Coronavision Polaroid Conversion Unit:
The best instant polaroid film to use is SX-70 or Time Zero. Polaroid 600 film works fine but is not as high definition so the images will not be as sharp.

1. Insert a new film cartridge into your camera and close the door. The protective cardboard sheet will eject, leaving a piece of film at the top of the cartridge.

2. Turn the INTENSITY control on your CV6000 counter-clockwise to a very LOW VOLTAGE.

3. Insert hand into black sleeve and rest fingers on the film inside. Be aware that the edges of Polaroid film is metallic, so don't let fingertips or specimens get closer than 1/4" away from the edges to prevent arcing.

4. Push the pulse button very briefly. Only about one second exposure is required in most cases.

5. Remove hand, and push the shutter button on the camera. The film will eject automatically and develop.

Using your own polaroid camera:
1. Place new film pack into your camera and close the hatch. The coversheet of the film will automatically eject.

2. In total darkness, remove the pack of polaroid film, and lay it on top of a pre-arranged sheet of aluminum foil that is taped to a wooden or plastic table top, and connected to the high voltage output of the unit.

3. Place fingertips or other specimen on the film and push the pulse button for about one second.

4. Place film pack back into your camera and close the hatch. The film should eject and develop. If it does not eject, remove the pack from the camera and try it again.  Once the film ejects, it is safe to turn on the lights.
