Operation
5.14 Start-up
Switch the instrument on as described in chapter 5.3 starting the instruMent.
• Check that there are no bubbles in the F-SW handpiece.
• If bubbles are visible under the coupling diaphragm, proceed as follows: Position
the handpiece in the handpiece holder. No stand-off should be attached
Fig. 5-48 Optimum handpiece position
This ensures that air bubbles will always be sucked out of the handpiece.
• Secure the handpiece in this position for approx. 3 minutes until the suction
procedure has nished.
• To work in F-SW mode, set the shock energy to an initial value of 0.1 mJ/mm
2
.
The maximum energy level corresponds to an energy ux density of 0.55 mJ/mm
2
.
• Optional: To work in C-ACTOR mode, set the pulse energy to an initial value of
0.03 mJ/mm
2
.
The maximum energy level corresponds to an energy ux density of 1.24 mJ/mm
2
.
NOTE
The highest permitted frequency is always set when an energy level is selected
(see chapter 5.4 setting the treatMent paraMeters, table 5 -1 and table 5 -2) This
frequency can be reduced manually. (See also chapter 5.13 “autOfrequency” func-
tiOn.)
• Press the F-SW trigger button.
