CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE
13 - AIMING LIGHT
The system's default aiming light level is Medium. Touch the AIMING LIGHT selection on the keypad to bring up the aiming light levels. Adjust the aiming light level by touching the UP and DOWN arrow
on the keypad. To exit, touch any key on the keypad. This will confirm and save your selection. The system remembers the last used aiming light setting when it is powered on. (Figure: 1.2, Option: 10)
14 - BATTERY and BATTERY LEVEL INDICATIONS
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser is equipped with a powerful nano-core lithium polymer battery capable of delivering a full day of laser usage and lasting several days in Standby mode. Simply connect
the provided power supply to the rear of the unit and charging will start immediately.
It is recommended to fully charge the laser unit prior to initial use after unpacking.
The battery level indicator is located at the upper right corner of the display and shows battery percentage remaining.

15 - POWER SUPPLY
Use only the provided 13V, 4A AC/DC power supply for charging the system battery and as an alternate laser power source. During initial setup use the AC/DC power supply for one hour to fully charge
the battery.
Plug the power supply into an AC outlet and connect to the corresponding connector on the rear of the laser Unit. Only use the power supply provided with the system.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply main with a protective earthing conductor.
16 - FIBER WRAPPING
A fiber wrapping system was built within the laser unit in order to provide a safe and convenient way to manage and store the optical fiber system. To store the fiber properly, always wrap in a clockwise
direction to protect and store the fiber optic cable when not in use. (See Figures: 5.1 - 5.4)
The fiber optic cable conducts laser energy from the laser diodes to the target tissues. These fibers are made of a thin glass silica. Note that there are potential hazards when inserting, steeply bending, or
improperly securing the fiber optic tips to the handpiece. Failure to follow these recommendations may lead to damage of the fiber or delivery system, and/or harm to the patient, staff, or laser operator.
CAUTION: AVOID DAMAGING THE FIBER. Do not wrap the fiber in a counter-clockwise direction. Doing so will possibly damage the optical fiber, preventing the use of the laser.
17 - HANDPIECE MAGNET
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser is designed with a strong magnet that will secure the surgical handpiece in place when the laser is not in use. Gently place the handpiece behind the transparent display
over the neck of the laser unit and the magnet will hold the handpiece in place. (Figure: 5.5)
18 - OPERATING MODE
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser will only deliver energy in pulsed "temporal emission mode" and is optimized to efficiently deliver energy and provide the operator with ideal control of target tissue
temperatures. The pulse width is fixed and not user adjustable. The operator will only need to adjust the laser wavelength and average power.
19 - EMERGENCY STOP
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser can be immediately deactivated in any mode, at any time, and at any power setting by pressing the red STOP button located in the front left of the system. (Figure: 2.10)
20 - REMOTE INTERLOCK (Switch not Included)
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser provides a remote interlock feature that enables a clinician to establish a dedicated laser treatment room with a remote interlock connector. A switch on the entrance
door is attached and is electronically wired into the laser unit via 2.3 mm plug jack. When the door to the room is opened, the connector/switch provides an electrically open circuit that deactivates laser
emissions. To use the remote interlock feature, an interlock connector/switch and cable must be purchased. Contact the manufacturer for assistance. (Figure: 2.11)

21 - TRANSPARENT ELECTROLUMINESCENT DISPLAY
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser is designed with a unique transparent electroluminescent display, which produces high-resolution images that can be viewed from a field of vision up to 170 degrees.
The transparent display was specially designed with over 80% transparency and an arch of 32 degrees for optimal viewing angle from any direction. The light is generated by a thin film—less than a micron
thick—of specially designed electroluminescent phosphor. (Figures: 5.6 - 5.7)
