4.6 Setting up a Footswitch
Only use footswitches developed by Arthrex specifically for the AR-

NOTES: Setup for a footswitch is the same for all models. The console detects
which version is attached and allows appropriate functions.
The footswitch connector cannot be properly inserted into the console
receptacle if the corresponding black dots are not aligned.
The pins of the footswitch connector may be damaged if the black dots
are not aligned before the footswitch is fully inserted.
The user may experience intermittent operation of the footswitch if the
connector is not fully seated into the console receptacle.
Insert the footswitch connector into the console’s footswitch receptacle. Align the
black dots on the connector and receptacle so they engage easily.
