4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 SYSTEM SETUP
•
Place the unit in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area.
•
Verify power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
•
EPIC V-Series will work using either DC power or the rechargeable battery pack:
o
DC Power
: Connect the power cord of the power supply to the laser console and plug
into a wall outlet
o
Rechargeable Battery
: The EPIC V-Series is shipped with the battery pack already
installed; to charge the battery pack, connect the power cord of the DC power supply
to the laser console and plug into a wall outlet. Before first use, fully charge the
battery (at least 3 hours). Once the battery is charged, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet and the laser console. The laser console will run on battery power
alone.
NOTE:
To fully charge the battery, plug the power supply in and then turn the laser console
ON (I) at the Power Switch. The laser console will start to charge and the unit will go
into sleep mode (with the screen off) after 5 minutes; if the power supply is plugged in
but turned OFF (O) at the Power Switch, the battery will still charge, but at a slower
rate.
•
Connect the fiber to the laser console (see Section 2).
CAUTION:
Do not connect or disconnect the fiber while the laser console is turned on.
Only connect or disconnect the fiber when the laser console is turned off.
CAUTION:
Do not cover or block ventilation channels. These channels provide an air-
flow path to cool the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not bend the fiber optic at a sharp angle, as it is can break. Make sure it
is not caught or pinched between the housing and the fiber optic access plug.
•
Remove protective cap from the end of the fiber shaft (see Figure 2.4).
•
Carefully connect the Handpiece to the fiber optic assembly (see Figure 2.5).
•
Insert the selected tip and tighten it clockwise until snug (see Figure 2.7).
•
Wind any excess fiber optic cable onto the fiber spool counterclockwise around the base
of the console.
•
The Handpiece is now ready to use. To store the Handpiece, place it in
the Handpiece holder located at the top of the laser console .
