UNDERSTANDING ERROR CODES AND AUDIO TONES
The Aaron 2250 includes automatic self-diagnostics. If the diagnostics detect an error, the system displays an error
code, sounds an audible tone, and deactivates the output power.
Most error codes result from faults in accessories attached to the unit. The following table lists the error codes,
describes the errors, and recommends actions to take to resolve the errors.
All error codes are displayed in the Bipolar display.

accessory devices during the self-test.
2. If the error code reappears, disconnect all accessories.

F6 Simultaneous activation error
The unit does not allow simultaneous activation of the cut and
coagulation modes. The activation mode is “first come, first served.”
This means that whichever mode is selected first will be the function
the unit is activated to dispense. An example of this functionality
includes, when the handpiece Cut button is pressed, the unit is activated
for Cut. If a footswitch is simultaneously pressed for Coag, the unit will
continue in the Cut mode as long as the handpiece Cut button is
pressed. If the Cut button is released, the unit will sense an error
and both functions will be disabled.
1. Release either the cut or coag button on the handpiece,
or the cut or coag pedal on the footswitch.
2. If the error code reappears, record the number and contact
Aaron customer service.
