In order to arrange and protect all cables connected to the HF device,
use the pull-out cable guide on the left underside of the device.
5.3.1. Instruments for monopolar applications
1. Plug the neutral electrode cable into the socket for the neutral
electrode 28.
2. Check EASY monitoring for a one-piece neutral electrode 19 or
EASY monitoring for a split neutral electrode 20 to ensure that it
corresponds to the type of neutral electrode connected.
3. Connect the electrode handpiece to the active socket
connector 29/30.
– or –
With accessories lacking finger buttons: connect a foot switch to
socket connector 32, and connect the monopolar connection cable
to the Bovie jack on connection port 30.
– or –
Connect the monopolar cable for endoscopy to the socket
connector for monopolar instruments 30 (left).
5.3.2. Instruments for bipolar applications
1. Connect the bipolar cable with the instrument, e.g. the tweezers.
2. Connect the bipolar cable to the active socket connector 31.
3. For bipolar use without AUTOSTART, connect a foot switch to
socket connector 32.
– or –
For bipolar use with AUTOSTART, press the AUTOSTART key 26.

Standard arrangement:
Single-pedal foot switch  monopolar coagulation (with ARC 303
connection port 30).
Double-pedal foot switch  cutting and monopolar coagulation.
