AUDIO FEEDBACK (22)
This special function is only available in the BIPOLAR coagulation operating modes. During cutting
and coagulation, the device produces a tone with a pitch that indicates the electric tissue
resistance. The pitch of the message tone rises with the resistance as the tissue dries out more.
6.2 Program memory
The device has four program memory slots on the buttons P1 … P4 (3). They are used to store the
respective current device settings.
Procedure:
1. Configure the desired device settings (operating mode, output, special function).
2. Press one of the buttons P1 … P4 (3) until the confirmation signal sounds.
Now the current device settings are stored in the selected program memory slot and the green
indicator lamp next to the program memory button light up. The device operates with those settings
effective immediately. This process can be repeated for the other program memory slots.
To activate the saved settings, briefly press the corresponding program memory button. The green
indicator lamp next to the button shows that the saved settings are active. If the special AUTO
START function was also saved, the AUTO START button (26) flashes after loading the saved
settings but the function is not active. This function is only active after pressing the AUTO START
button (26). This step protects against unintentional activation.
NOTE
A manually selected output setting in a bipolar cutting operating mode cannot be saved
for safety reasons! In this case the output setting “0” is always stored in the program.
To work with bipolar cutting current, the output first has to be set again using the rotary
knob (17).
The green indicator lamp turns off as soon as the device settings are changed. Pressing one of the
program memory buttons again until the confirmation tone sounds overwrites the settings stored
in this program slot with the new settings.
When bipolar accessories are used with automatic instrument detection, the function of the
program memory buttons is limited (see chapter 5.6.4). When using encoded bipolar accessories,
settings on the device that have been changed by the user compared to the default settings (to the
extent this is possible) cannot be saved.
The program used last is always active after turning on the device.
6.3 Function test
Before using the device, check all device functions and perform the following function tests:
1. Pull the plug of the connection cable for the neutral electrode out of the connection socket (30).
The red warning lamp (31) flashes. When attempting to activate a monopolar RF current, an
intermittent acoustic warning signal sounds instead of the continuous activation tone. RF
current activation is blocked. On the other hand, the bipolar current can be activated if selected;
in this case, the red warning lamp will not flash.
