When the laser system is in the READY state, the aiming beam will illuminate. The
aiming beam should always be in or near the center of the distance gauge treatment
circle. The amber distance gauges and the 3 mm distance gauges are self aligning
when they are inserted in the delivery system.
The 1.5 mm distance gauge is not fully self-aligning so it may need to be readjusted
if the aiming beam is not near the center of the treatment ring. If this occurs, place the
laser in the STANDBY state and remove the distance gauge. Then reinsert the 1.5
mm distance gauge using one or two rocking motions as it is pressed onto the slider.
Recheck the centering of the aiming beam to verify that it is installed properly.
Caution
DO NOT USE A SMALLER DISTANCE GAUGE WITH A LARGER
TREATMENT SPOTSIZE. THE LASER BEAM WILL PREMANENTLY
DAMAGE THE DISTANCE GAUGE. DO NOT USE A DISTANCE GAUGE
WITH VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE DETERIORIATION.
Refer to Section 6 of this manual for instructions on cleaning and maintenance of
handpieces and distance gauges.
