Do not aim the laser at metallic or reflective surfaces, such as surgical
instruments or dental mirrors. If aimed directly at these surfaces the laser

3.3 SAFETY FEATURES
Energy Monitor
The energy monitor measures and verifies power output. Power deviations of more than ± 20%
from the selected value will cause the display to show the error message: “LASER CURRENT
HIGH/LOW”.
The laser console will not operate until the system first clears the error and then goes into
READY mode. If the error message persists, please contact BIOLASE Service at
1-800-321-6717.
System Monitor
The system monitors the emergency stop switch, remote key, wireless footswitch connection,
and output power. An error in any one of these will stop the system. The text display will indicate
the type of error. Operation will not resume until the error is cleared.
