CAUTION: Each footswitch/receiver pair is uniquely linked and will not work with other IRIDEX
footswitches or similar components. Clearly identify each pair to prevent separation of
the linked components.
NOTE: The footswitch is designed to operate within 15 feet (5 meters) of the laser.
Testing the Batteries
