Key Switch
The system is equipped with a three-position key switch that enables the laser and its controls.
In the Standby position, the key can be removed and the system is inactive. The Ready position
enables power to the rest of the system. The switch is “momentary” when in the start position.
The key is not removable when switched to either the ready or start position. The laser is
inoperable whenever the key is removed from the switch.

Vacuum and Laser Footswitches
The system is equipped with two footswitch assemblies: a vacuum footswitch and a laser
footswitch. The vacuum footswitch is a dual footswitch assembly containing two footswitches.
The left footswitch is a “Vacuum OFF” footswitch that disables the vacuum that attaches the
LIQUID OPTICS™
Interface suction ring to the patient’s eye. The right footswitch is a “Vacuum
ON” footswitch that enables the vacuum that attaches the
LIQUID OPTICS™
Interface suction
ring to the patient’s eye. The laser footswitch is a shrouded footswitch that activates the laser
treatment beam when depressed while the system is in READY mode.
