FRONT PANEL DISPLAY SYMBOLS

Indicates that the output mode for yellow pedal activation can be selected.

Indicates that the footswitch is the activation source for the system.

Indicates that the audio alarm output level may be selected. “MIN” is the lowest volume
available, “MAX” is the loudest.

Indicates that the Generator is waiting for the Electrode/Handpiece Cable to be attached to the
front panel receptacle.

Indicates that the Generator is waiting for an Electrode to be inserted into the Handpiece. Not
displayed when using the electrode with integrated cable.

NOTE

Mode selection can only be performed after an Electrode and Handpiece are connected
to the Generator. If the Mode button is quickly pressed and released the next user set-up
option appears.

May appear if the active tip shorts against nearby metal objects. A warning tone will also be
issued. Press the mode button on the front panel or the third footswitch button to resume
operation, for TC electrodes only.

For all other electrode types operation will resume automatically when the short is removed
(provided foot-pedal remains depressed).

Indicates that the Footswitch menu option is in the default off position.
