1. Selected program: in this example P3:
2. Pulse duration in milliseconds: in single pulse or auto-repeat mode. If set
to any time, laser radiation will stop after this time, even if you continue to
press the foot control or finger switch. If set to zero, "------" appears on the
display, and the laser remains activated as long you press the foot control
or finger switch. In the autorepeat mode, the laser unit switches back on
after two sec. if the foot switch or the finger switch is actuated.

NOTICE
In the preset menus, the laser activation time cannot be modified by the user.
3. Laser radiation:
ON when the foot control or finger switch is actuated,
OFF when the laser is in standby mode.
4. Selected laser power: in our example, 0.8 W peak power. Using the
"RIGHT ARROW" and "LEFT ARROW" key, you can adjust the emitted
power between 0.5 W and 7 W in 0.1 W increments.
WARNING
The preset power levels are considered to be safe for patients. Increasing the
power levels entails the risk of overheating the patient's soft or hard tissue.
Setting the power to excessively low levels may result in reduced treatment ef-
ficacy.
5. Frequency: Modulation frequency of the laser unit. The frequency range
extends from 1 to 10,000 Hz. If set to zero, CW (for continuous wave
mode) is displayed.
i
NOTICE
In the preset menus, the frequency cannot be modified by the user.
6. Treatment energy: The system calculates the energy used during
treatment (in mJ) from the power values and the selected laser activation
time. If no activation time has been preset, the energy will not be
calculated.
When you actuate the foot control or finger switch, the message "LASER ON"
appears. At the same time, four yellow LEDs light up, the audible alarm
sounds and the laser starts emitting. When you release the foot control or fin-
ger switch to interrupt treatment, the laser is deactivated, but remains ready
for operation.
