Service
Manual
Before
servicing
the
generator,
it is
important
that
you
read,
understand,
and
follow
the
instructions
supplied
with
it
and
with
any
other
equipment
used
to
install, test,
adjust,
or
repair
the
generator.
General
Warning
Use the generator only it the self-test has been completed as described.
Otherwise, inaccurate power outputs may result.
The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one
instrument
at
a time. Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument
at
a
time into a given receptacle. Doing so will cause simultaneous activation
of
the
instruments.
Do not stack equipment on top of the generator
or
place the generator on top of
electrical equipment (except a Force
GSU unit
or
Force Argon unit). These
configurations are unstable and/or do not allow for adequate cooling.
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and
other electronic eqUipment (such as monitors). An activated
electrosurgical
generator may cause interference with them.
Do
not
turn the activation tone down to an inaudible level. The activation tone
alerts the
surgical team when an accessory is active.
