7. Connect the power cord.
5.2. Switching on the HF device
Do not use the HF device if the display components are not working. See
Section Detecting and correcting faults, page 33 for troubleshooting
instructions.
1. Switch the HF device on using the on/off switch 25.

The HF device carries out a self-test: all indicator lamps light up.
2. Check that all LEDs (3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,18, 19, 20,
23, 24) on the front panel light up.

The HF device is ready for operation.

The parameters for the most recently selected program appear on
the front panel.

5.3. Connecting instruments
 Before connecting instruments, ensure that the following conditions
are met:
 Combinations of accessories not mentioned in the
operating manual may be used only if they are explicitly
designed for the intended use. Performance features as
well as safety requirements must always be taken into
account.
 The insulation of the accessories (e.g. HF cables,
instruments) must be sufficient for the maximum output
peak voltage (see IEC 60601-2-2 and IEC 60601-2-18).
 Do not use accessories with defective insulation.
5.3.1. Instruments for monopolar applications
1. Plug the neutral electrode cable into the socket for the neutral
electrode 2.
2. Check monitoring for a non-split neutral electrode 14 or EASY
monitoring for a split neutral electrode 15 to ensure that it
corresponds to the type of neutral electrode connected.
3. Connect the electrode handpiece to the active connector socket 1.
– or –
For accessories without finger sensors: Connect the foot switch to
the connector socket 30. Connect the monopolar connection cable
with a 3-pin or 4 mm plug to connector socket 1.
5.3.2. Instruments for bipolar applications
1. Connect the bipolar cable with the instrument, e.g. the forceps.
2. Connect the bipolar cable to the active connector socket 1.
3. For bipolar use, connect the foot switch to the connector socket 30.
