5. Device Operation
This chapter describes the operation during normal use, as it was valid at the time of printing this
manual. Due to technical changes and software updates the handling may change. If you find discrep-
ancies, please contact the manufacturer or distributor. He will send you the latest version of this man-
ual.
5.1 Starting the device
Put on laser protective eyewear that meets the requirements of the chapter "Eye Protection".
Then use the power switch on the left side of the device to turn on the device. On the front panel you
now see the blue/red (depending on the device version) light of a LED below the Power-on symbol in
the middle. Press this symbol and hold it pressed for one second. The LED turns green and the boot
process of the device starts.
After a short time, an input screen is displayed, which prompts you to enter a PIN. This PIN can be ob-
tained from the person doing the initial training on the use of the device or you can define your own
PIN. In chapter “Setup menu” this is described.
After entering the correct PIN the device displays the main menu. If you entered the PIN incorrectly
three times in a row, the device will be blocked for one hour. Renewed attempts to enter PIN are only
possible after this time again.
If errors occur during self-test a message will be displayed. The device might also ask you to perform
an appropriate action. Follow the instructions!
5.2 Main Menu: Choice of treatment
The main menu shows several buttons arranged in rows and columns. The middle display zone
–
highlighted by the light gray background - contains all the keys you need for performing a treatment.
The bottom row contains the
“Settings”
button, which provides access to device-specific settings, see
the chapter "Setup Menu".
Press one of the slightly larger buttons of the first column to enter the treatment menu (see "Treatment
Menu"). No indication-specific parameter recommendations are provided in this case. This option is
therefore suitable for experienced users and experts who have already gained clinical experience with
this or similar systems and who know the appropriate treatment parameters.
