Delivered energy is changed from level 20 to 62 energy levels
and the System starts up at the minimal power setting.
Cut-off temperature settings are changed in the range of 35-

o
C. When measured skin surface temperature reaches the
pre-set limit the RF energy is cut off.
Allows selecting between single RF pulses of 30sec in the Single
Mode, and continuous RF in Repeat Mode, when the Footswitch
is pressed.
The Counter can be reset.
This indicator shows the skin surface temperature, as measured
by an integral temperature sensor.
This function shows the total time that RF is activated.

4.5 Cut-Off Temperature Control
The cut-off temperature up to an upper limit of temperature of 43°C is constantly
maintained for the Forma Handpiece. When the measured temperature approaches
the Cut-off Temperature, the tone beeps double in speed. It becomes faster when
the Cut-off Temperature is reached and RF is instantly inactivated. As soon as the
