The applicator should always be held by the grip and not
by the Ultrasound Applicator head.
4. If US Coupling is "On", the Applicator is properly
coupled to the patient and administering ultrasound
when the LED is constantly illuminated. If the
applicator head becomes uncoupled the LED on the
head will flash. If "US coupling" setting is ON, several
beeps will be also heard until the head is coupled
again. Treatment time stops during uncoupling.
NOTE: Ultrasound output will continue to be emitted in all
US coupling modes even if the applicator is uncoupled.
The output power is reduced to a very low level to prevent
ultrasound head warming.
