follows;

100mW RED

Please ensure that you have received the appropriately configured system for your
treatment.
Setup and configuration
Prior to commencing treatment, you should have fully charged the battery in the
Dermaray Laser as detailed in section 5. Do not activate the Dermaray Laser unless
you have firstly charged the battery and read these instructions in full.
Dermaray Laser comes fitted with a distance guide comprising of a number of
rubberized black plastic teeth. This guide establishes the correct distance between
the lamp and exposure area, makes scalp treatment more convenient and effective
and allows proper operation of the proximity detection system. Permanent removal
of this distance guide is not recommended and may lead to accidental over
exposure and failure of the proximity detection safe guards. Temporary removal is
acceptable for cleaning or maintenance purposes only. The distance guide clips off
and also clicks back into place.
Common sense must be applied to any phototherapy treatment program, always err
on the side of caution. If unsure of any facet of treatment or operation, contact the
person who supplied your device or your supervising doctor.
Dermaray Laser can store details for 10 patients, each with up to 32 treatment
areas. If one patient has more than 32 treatment areas, configure the additional
areas under another patient (e.g. Patient 1a and Patient 1b.)
