9. To activate the unit, remove the handpiece from the holder. Place the handpiece in the desired position and
depress the activation button (see figure 2, letter K). When the unit is activated, an audible tone is sounded and the
blue active light will illuminate (see figure 2, letter F).
10. To use the optional grounding plate with cord (A802EU), insert the plug of the cord into the grounding plate
output (see figure 2, letter G) and connect the other end into the grounding plate. The plate should be placed under-
neath the patient at a point where the entire plate is covered by bare skin. Do not use gels or creams on the plate.
11. To use the optional bipolar cord (A827EU), insert the plugs into the bipolar outputs (see figure 2, letter H).
The cord is then plugged into the forceps. A sliding gate behind the monopolar and bipolar outputs prevents the
user from using both simultaneously.
12. The optional footswitch is plugged into the footswitch output and placed on the floor (see figure 2, letter I).
The footswitch can be used with monopolar procedures and must be used with bipolar procedures.
13. When the procedure is completed, turn the unit off utilizing the switch on the right side panel of the unit.
14. Return the handpiece to the holder on the right side of the unit and remove the electrode. The electrode
should be disposed of after each procedure. If contamination has occurred to the handpiece, the handpiece should
also be sterilized.
15. Adjustment of the audible tone is achieved by a switch located on the rear of the unit (see figure 3). Two tone
choices are available, high and low. A small screwdriver will be necessary to make the adjustment.
