Changing Power Settings
When the surgeon activates the Force 2 generator, you cannot change the
power settings. To change a power setting after the surgeon discontinues
activation, press the appropriate Up or Down buttons until the desired
setting appears on the power display.
Remote Power Changes Using the Valleylab Power Control Pencil
If a Valleylab power control pencil is used, the surgeon can control the
power settings by pressing the Up or Down buttons located on the pencil.
To activate the pencil power control feature, press the Ready button and
the Cut Power Down button simultaneously on the generator front panel.
The generator responds by sounding a single tone and the RMOTE
indicator illuminates.
Press the + or - buttons on the pencil to increase or decrease the power of
the last used mode (cut or coag). Press and release the appropriate button
to increase/decrease the power setting by one power setting unit. Each
time the power setting is changed from the pencil, a tone sounds and the
power setting display indicates the new power setting. The power control
pencil will not change power settings while the generator is activated in
any mode.
The power control feature can be deactivated by placing the generator in
standby and then back to ready. Power will return to the last displayed
power setting.
