THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ACCESSORY OF THE MICRO5. 

IT SHOULD BE READ AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENT.

THE MICRO5 IS A VERY ADVANCED ELECTRONIC DEVICE. THE MICRO-PROCESSOR 

CONTROLS ARE DESIGNED TO SIMPLIFY TREATMENT DELIVERY. WE HAVE MADE 

THE OPERATION OF THE micro5 VERY SIMPLE IF YOU FOLLOW THE BASIC GUIDE-

LINES OF THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. REMEMBER, MOST PROBLEMS ARE A RESULT 

OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS RATHER THAT EQUIPMENT FAILURE.

THE MICRO5 IS SHIPPED WITH A LOW BATTERY CHARGE. IT MUST BE CHARGED AT
