7.14 WIRELESS FOOTSWITCH
The wireless Footswitch is powered by two (2) AAA batteries.
When the wireless Footswitch is pressed in Ready mode and the laser fires, a beeping sound
indicates that laser energy is present. A green LED will begin flashing and a blue LED will light at the
top corners of the laser console, confirming the Footswitch and laser are paired.
In the top left corner of most screens is a signal strength indicator which displays the signal strength
between the laser console and the Footswitch (strongest is five (5) bars). Pressing and releasing the
Footswitch while in Standby mode will update this indicator. Although the unit will work with a signal
level as low as one (1) bar, a weaker signal level will make the connection between the Footswitch
and laser console more vulnerable to wireless (RF) interference from other sources, such as cell
phones or microwaves. To improve the signal strength, reposition either the Footswitch or the laser
console until the signal indicator achieves the strongest possible level for optimal operation.
NOTE: If the Footswitch is pressed while the system is in Standby mode, the screen will display
ALERT 2, indicating the system is not in Ready mode. Press the control button to switch to Ready
mode. When the Footswitch is not in use, it will go into Sleep mode to conserve battery power. It
automatically reactivates when pressed.
7.15 PEAK POWER DISPLAY
This number is shown only when the system is in Pulse mode and presents the value of the peak
power based on the power setting and Pulse mode.
7.16 PULSE MODE SELECTION
Pulse mode selection graphically indicates whether the system is in Continuous mode or in Pulse
mode.
In Continuous mode, laser power is constantly delivered when the laser console is in Ready mode
and the wireless Footswitch is activated.
In Pulse mode, laser power is delivered in repetitive pulses, controlled by the Pulse Length and
Pulse Interval settings. Pressing the Pulse mode button will allow switching between Pulsed and
Continuous modes (Figure 7.27).
