CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE

05 - LASER STANDBY AND ACTIVE MODES

The ACTIVE/STANDBY keypad selection serves a dual purpose. It activates (ACTIVE) and deactivates
the laser (STANDBY). By default, the system powers up in Standby mode. The laser cannot be activated
prior to selecting a wavelength. Each time the ACTIVE/STANDBY selection is touched, the system toggles
between Active and Standby modes. There is an audio confirmation (unless voice confirmation is
muted), and an icon for either "ACTIVE" or "STANDBY" is displayed near each wavelength indicator.
The red aiming beam and tip illumination are visible only when the laser is in Active mode.
When the system is in Active mode, touching any selection other than UP and DOWN or LEFT and
RIGHT will return the system to the Standby mode. When the activation pedal is depressed in the
Active mode, the outer indicator ring around each wavelength icon on the display flashes to provide
a visual indication that the laser is firing. There is also an audio beep when laser is being fired. For
safety purposes, a laser firing delay of 0.25 seconds was implemented in order to prevent accidental
activation.
