available system functions. Each function is activated by simply pressing a soft key in the panel

When the TX Console is rst powered ON, the initialization screen will momentarily display the
Tenex Health logo, followed by the Main Mode screen.
The four (4) user functions are Irrigation, Aspiration, Cutting Power and Coagulation. The
parameter settings for each function are only available sequentially from left to right at power
up. The system is not ready for use until parameter settings are made for all four (4) functions.
The Main Mode also contains the Prime, Cutting Time, and Options commands. The PRIME

tests the valves, and tests the peristaltic pump. The CUTTING TIME command soft key resets
the cutting timer when pressed. The OPTIONS command soft key will access the Options Mode
when pressed, providing access to the Sound, Brightness, and Software Upgrade functions.
Note that the software upgrade function is for factory use only.
