Instructions
Before you start…
a) Review precautions and contraindications listed in Section 6.
b) Verify connection of the line cord to a grounded wall receptacle and the Laser Sys*Stim 540
and that the battery is charged.
c) Note: Descriptions of the symbols used on controls are in Section 2.
d) The laser energy emitted by this device is relatively low power but because it is in the low
red/infrared region of the visible spectrum there is a potential hazard when using this device.
Although the laser beam is divergent and not finely focused it is possible the laser energy can
be a risk to the naked eye. The laser applicator should never be directed at the eyes of the
patient or the practitioner, particularly during treatment.
To reduce the potential hazard associated with using the laser, two sets of protective glasses
have been supplied. It is strongly recommended that both the practitioner and the patient wear
a set of these glasses during treatment when laser energy is being administered.
