Connect the MicroPro with the mains cable to an earthed socket with a functioning
protective ground conductor.

6.5 Beginning treatment
The treatment is always started from the main menu by turning up the output power to the
desired value with the intensity regulator starting from zero.
Caution!
In order to prevent unbearable warming of tissue, the individual diminished
capacity for perception of heat must be respected while setting the output
power.
According to Schliephake the patient's subjective sensitivity to heat can be divided into four
stages according:
Dose I:
Heat not perceptible. First set dose so that there is a slight sensation of heat,
and then turn control back slightly.
Dose II:
Heat just perceptible.
Dose III:
Heat noticeable, pleasant.
Dose IV:
Heat still tolerable.
Before beginning treatment you must read and observe the safety instructions and the list
of contraindications.
Begin the treatment as follows:
•
Make sure that the radiator is in correct position.
•
Check the parameter setting.
•
By turning the intensity regulator slowly increase the output power. Observe the well-
being of the patient (verbal response).
•
If necessary, adjust the parameter setting during the treatment.

Note!
During active treatment it is not possible to switch directly from continuous
mode (CW mode) to pulsed mode and vice versa.
