The use of accessories and/or optical fiber cables not specified for use with this laser system may result in unsafe emissions
or damage to the laser system.
Caution: Do not bend the optical fiber too sharply: the minimum permissible bending radius is 40 mm.
The Empower Delivery System is composed of a double-sheathed optic fiber and a hand piece with interchangeable treatment heads. The
laser emission is controlled with a finger switch on the hand piece (Figure 19).
Warning: DO NOT operate the laser system without a treatment head. This can cause serious injury.
The finger switch is an ON/OFF button for laser emission. When the operator is administering a treatment, the finger switch must be held
down. Releasing the finger switch stops the laser emission and returns the laser to Ready mode. The laser system will remain in Ready
mode until the operator holds the button down again to resume the treatment. If there is no input to the laser system by the finger switch for
100 seconds, then the laser system will automatically return to Standby mode.
There is a finger switch OVERRIDE setting that can be used by advanced users who do not want to hold the finger switch down throughout
the entire treatment. More information on finger switch settings can be found in Setup.
Warning: The Override setting for the finger switch should be used by experienced operators only
During emission, the LED ring around the finger switch will light up green (Figure 19).

Quick Disconnect Treatment Heads
Prior to initiating any treatment, the shipping dust cap must be removed. To remove the dust cap or any treatment head attachment, hold
the base of the hand piece with one hand and grasp the attachment with the other. Rotate the attachment counterclockwise approximately
1cm to unlock the attachment. Then, pull straight down to disengage and keep pulling to fully disconnect the attachment (Figure 20).

locked
To attach a treatment head attachment, locate the metal insert on the inside of the attachment. Line up the slot within the metal insert with
the bearing on the mating end of the hand piece (Figure 21). The hand piece and attachments are keyed so they will only fit and attach in
this orientation.
Once they are lined up, push the attachment onto the end of the hand piece so it is fully seated. Then while holding the hand piece, rotate
the attachment clockwise until it clicks. This indicates the attachment is fully engaged, locked in, and ready for use. (Figure 22)
