See also chapter 6 Application!
After activation the laser is in the STANDBY mode. Standby is highlighted in white on the
READY/STANDBY key.
Verify again that
• the handpiece has been connected correctly,
• all laser safety precautions have been taken.
• the door interlock contact functions properly, if you have installed it: Open the
door; it must not be possible to switch the laser to READY (an error message
is displayed and must be confirmed).
Set the desired parameters according to the explanations given in the earlier chapters.
WARNING
Direct and scattered laser radiation can cause serious eye injuries.
During active laser operation all persons present in the laser room must wear protective
eye goggles or patient eye shields appropriate for this laser as specified in chapter 3
Technical Data. Other types of laser protective eye-wear possibly do not provide the
degree of protection needed!
Before pressing the READY key the attending user must check this.
In the READY mode you can also activate a laser pulse by pressing the foot switch
unintentionally! Therefore, the laser device must be switched to STANDBY in the
treatment pauses and at the end of the treatment.
The laser beam may only be released if the handpiece is precisely directed onto the
skin area to be treated.
In case of dangerous malfunctions the Laser emergency STOP must be activated
immediately.
Pressing the READY/STANDBY key changes the device to the READY mode; the yellow laser
warning label appears on the bottom right of the display. First, the system performs a safety test
of the hardware that takes about 2 seconds.
