Warning
Malfunction may be caused by a loose or incorrect connection of the cord to the energy platform
or instrument. Worn cords cannot be repaired. Replace cords on a routine basis to maintain
optimum functionality and reliability in operating-room use.
Connect accessories to the proper receptacle. Improper connection of accessories may result in
potentially hazardous conditions.
Inspect the cord insulation before and after each use for cracks, nicks, cuts, dents, or depressions
which may decrease the insulation effectiveness. If the cord is compromised, do not use.
Unintended thermal injury could occur.
Precaution
Always disconnect the cord from the instrument or energy platform by gripping the connector. Do
not pull on the cord when disconnecting from the instrument and energy platform. Improper
disconnection may damage the cord insulation.
Notice
Do not plug the system power cord into a power strip or extension cord.
