Battery calibration
For optimum battery performance, a battery calibration must be
performed whenever the battery has been removed and reconnected or
when a new battery pack is installed. See chapter "Replacing the
rechargeable battery of the control unit [→ 70]".
1.
Switch on the laser without having connected the power supply.
2.
Choose "Battery calibration" in the settings menu.
Ä
The following message will appear: "Battery calibration may
take several hours."
3.
Press 'OK'.
Ä
The battery will now be discharged automatically until the
device switches off due to lack of power.
4.
When the device has been switched off automatically, plug in the
power supply and charge the battery for at least 2 hours (best over
night).
Ä
The battery is now calibrated.

Laser calibration check
WARNING
You must wear the supplied laser protective goggles during the entire
laser calibration check.
The following section describes the procedure to check the laser
calibration of the SiroLaser Blue.
We recommend performing this check at least once a week.
In order to enable exact inspection of the performance and flawless
functioning of your SiroLaser Blue, we recommend performing
calibration check at the following different stages:
● 1 W (445 nm)
● 1 W (970 nm)
● 100 mW (660 nm)
The SiroLaser Blue performs a self-calibration. During this procedure,
the system checks that the laser emission parameters are correct. We
recommend that you check these values using a suitable external
measuring instrument at least every twelve months. If the measurement
readings indicate the following values, the calibration is correct:
● wavelength: 445 ±5 nm
power: 1 W
resolution: 5 % or higher
● wavelength: 970 -10/+15 nm
power: 1 W
resolution: 5 % or higher
● wavelength: 660 ±5 nm
power: 100 mW
resolution: 5 % or higher
Select one of two test procedures to check the calibration:
