This chapter lists a number of conditions that may be observed during
the lifetime of the Tempest Nd:YAG laser system. Following the list of
conditions is a set of procedures that may be used for resolving specific
conditions to improve laser performance.
To use this section, find the observed condition in this section that
matches the condition of the laser. Follow the recommended procedure
to correct the situation. If the problem cannot be resolved by following
the procedure then phone New Wave Research at (510) 249-1550; FAX
(510) 249-1551; or e-mail lasers@new-wave.com to get technical
support for the laser.

The following procedures should be followed to resolve the observed
conditions listed in the section above. Please contact New Wave
Research at Tel: 510-249-1550 FAX: 510-249-1551
for more detailed information regarding these procedures.
Procedure 1. Laser does not start
If the laser does not start, please check the following points.
• The laser AC power cord is plugged in and the outlet has power.
• The power switch on the AC power entry module is in the ON (I)
position.
• The key switch on the power supply is turned to the ON position, and
the AC power light is illuminated.
• The control panel flashlamp knob is rotated fully counterclockwise to
the minimum start position.
