Power save mode
The FT-800 station has a power save lamp and
the FT-8001 has a heater lamp.
After turning on the power, the heater lamp on
the FT-8001 will flash. The power save lamp on
the FT-800 station is lit when the FT-8001 is
placed in the handpiece holder.
When using the FT-8001, take the FT-8001 out
of the handpiece holder. When the temperature
stabilizes, the heater lamp will change from
flashing to being continuously lit.
Operation mode
l Power save mode
When the FT-8001 is placed in the handpiece
holder, the power save mode is on. When in the
power save mode, the blade temperature is
reduced by approx.50% (under 300°C;572°F).
