If the start-up sequence deviates from the description above, contact qualified service personnel
following hospital protocol.
When the initiation sequence is complete, the system will go to Standby. However, if the system
detects a faulty generator or incorrect hand piece, a fault will appear on the graphic display (the
power levels will not be visible) and an audible alarm will sound. Refer to Chapter 4 –
Troubleshooting or the Troubleshooting Guide.

Connect the instrument and adaptor (or hand switching adaptor), if required, to the hand
piece following instructions in their package inserts.
Note: The hand switching adaptor must be at room temperature to function properly. Do not
immerse in water to cool rapidly. After steam sterilization, allow hand switching adaptor to
air cool for at least 15 minutes prior to use.
Connect the hand piece connector to the receptacle on the front panel. Align the white dot on
the connector with the white dot on the generator. Ensure the hand piece connector is clean
and dry before connecting the hand piece to the generator. Fully insert the hand piece
connector to assure complete, proper connection to the generator.
Turn the generator power switch on and observe the power-up sequence. During power-up,
the following indicators on the front panel will briefly illuminate:
• READY, STANDBY, MIN, MAX, TEST, ATTENTION, HAND ACTIVATION
The system will run its start-up sequence and display the software version. An audible tone
will sound during the initiation sequence.
Note: The entire power-up initiation sequence should not exceed ten seconds.
Power Levels: Upon startup, the generator defaults to power level 3 (MIN) and 5 (MAX).
The minimum (MIN) power level is user-settable from power levels 1 to 5. To adjust the
power level, depress the up/down arrow button to the left of the minimum power level
display. Set the power level based on surgeon preference and/or recommendations provided
in the instrument's package insert (for more information, see Power Levels section in
Chapter 2 – Principles of Operation).
Audible tones: The generator has three activation tone sets from which to choose (the mid-
pitch tone is factory set). To choose another tone:
a. Switch power off.
b. Switch power on. Then immediately depress and hold both the STANDBY and HAND
ACTIVATION buttons. When the graphic shown in Figure 3-1 appears on the display,
release the STANDBY and HAND ACTIVATION buttons.
c. While in the Tone Selection mode, the generator will automatically sequence through the
available tone pitches. To select a tone, depress any button on the control panel. The
generator will return to Standby mode. The tone chosen will be saved until it is changed
again by accessing the Tone Selection mode.
Fig. 3-1 Tone Selection Display
Adjust tone volume by turning the knob on the lower left corner of the control panel. A
tone will sound to indicate the volume level selected. For safety reasons, the tone may not
be disabled.
