Continuously move the treatment head at a rate of approximately 3-10 cm/sec (1-3 in/sec).
To ensure an even distribution of the dose to the treatment area, continuously move the treatment head over the area first moving
continuously back-and-forth horizontally, and then moving back-and-forth vertically in a grid pattern. Make sure to cover the entire
area to be treated in a painting motion.
For application to joints, it is recommended that 25 to 50% of the dose be applied while gently moving the joint through its range of
motion.

Error Messages
4.11.1.
Operation Errors
The laser system will display error messages to caution the operator to fault conditions. If any of the following errors occur, the laser system
will remain in Standby mode, or return to Standby mode, produce an audible warning and display the related message describing the fault
condition. The following are examples of these fault conditions:
Optical fiber is not properly inserted,
Remote interlock is not properly installed,
Finger/foot switch is depressed.
To proceed, correct the error and press the exit button.
4.11.2.
System Errors
The system continuously monitors the output current of the diodes to ensure they are within the factory calibration settings. If it is detected
that the electrical current levels exceed the upper limit that would result in 20% greater power output than selected, the laser will produce an
error message and audible alert, stop emission and return the laser to Standby mode.
Note: When the laser pulse rate is CW, the real laser output power is the same as the power setting on the display within operating tolerances.
Note: When the laser pulse rate is not CW (e.g. 10 Hz), the average output power is 50% of the power setting on the display, within operating
tolerances.
The laser system will not enter or remain in Emission if the laser system is not within the operating temperature range. If temperatures
exceed safety limits:
There will be an audible warning.
There will be an error message: Laser temperature is out of range.
Press the exit button to return to Standby mode.
Make sure that the ambient temperature of the laser system is within the operating temperature range of the device, which is 5°C to 40°C
(41°F to 104°F).

Power On
After pressing the power button on the front of the console, there will be an audible beep and after initializing, the software displays the
(Figure 24).

Main Menu
After entering the default password and pressing "enter," the user is taken to the Main Menu, which can be accessed in other screens by
pressing the home icon in the upper left corner. User may also access the system using new Operator IDs created in Setup.
5.2.
Setup
In Setup, the software allows the operator to change the aiming beam, unit volume, operation mode (finger/foot switch settings) and
override settings. The user can also customize the language, measurement units, date/time/time zone to localize the device.
5.2.1.
System Setup
Aiming Beam – small pilot beam that provides the operator with a visual indication (red light) of the
location of treatment beam. The aiming beam can be set to Steady or Pulsed.
