6.4 Optical Fiber Connection
The dust cap is installed by the manufacturer as a means to prevent dust and debris from
contaminating the emission port during shipping and before device installation and is not
intended as the primary means to protect the emission port connector during normal use.
Fiber Connection Procedure
1. Remove protective cap from optical port on rear of unit
2. Remove the hand piece and optical fiber from the protective foam packaging
3. Remove protective cap from the end of the fiber optic cable
4. Carefully insert end of fiber optic cable into optical port
5. Thread connector onto optical port until tight
Caution
If the optical port or the fiber tip is contaminated, then the device can be damaged during beam
emission. Do not remove the hand piece fiber from the emission port once it has been secured,
unless the device is being packaged or transported to another location. Repeated insertion and
removal of the hand piece fiber before and after every procedure will increase the chance of emission
port and fiber tip contamination.
Note
Your laser may have come with the optical fiber already connected. If not, please follow these steps.
