4.3.3. Connecting a foot switch
In addition to the manual switch, a foot switch can be used to activate
various operating modes.
Connect the desired foot switch only during operation to one of the two
socket connectors for foot switches.
The HF device automatically detects the connected foot switch and
indicates this on the front panel display, including the selected socket
connector.
One double-pedal foot switch and one single pedal foot switch can be
connected. Foot switches without an orange changeover switch cannot
be used.
During the operation, the ARC PLUS may only be connected to the foot
switch and if necessary to an OP system (see Section 3.4.1/3.4.2) by
fibre-optic cables plugged in at the rear of the device.
