To get to the LVM screen on the Candela GentleMax (GMax), you will have to calibrate the laser for the
ALEX and YAG. If you know how to calibrate for both ALEX and YAG, proceed to step six for instructions
on how to go directly to the LVM and what information is needed by the technicians.
You can use whatever handpiece is available but our technicians recommend using a 15mm handpiece.
Step One: Turn key to power the GMax laser and allow to warm up for at least 10 minutes.
Step Two: Your GMax will default to either ALEX or YAG depending on which setting you used before
turning off the laser. In the center of the main screen will be a circular button and it will say either ALEX
or YAG. Your screen will also be a different color depending on the setting (ALEX is pinkish-red, YAG is
blueish-green).
It does not matter which laser is calibrated first
