When the protect filter is also attached to the assistant's observation system of the microscope, plug it into the FILTER2 connector on the front panel of the main body. For LC-300G, up to two protect filters can be connected. When using the protect filter PF-MZG10.6/PF-MWG10.6, plug the relay cable into the FIL- TER 1/2 connector on the front panel of the main body.
CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER RE-1G Install the remote controller in a stable place to prevent injury by falling CAUTION off. MEMO Insert/remove the connection plug while the power of the instrument is OFF. Plug the remote controller into the remote controller connector on the front panel of the main body. Main body (Common to Laser Delivery SL-10L G type/Laser Delivery SA-1G type)
BASIC OPERATIONS Both the beam and diffused beam are dangerous. Do not look at/touch these. During operation, let the people around the instrument wear the gog- gles (applied to 532nm, OD4 or more) suitable for the laser wave- WARNING length. The laser beam may damage their eyes. First, make sure that the slit lamp attachment for laser photocoagulator is at the specified position and then turn on the power of the instru- ment.
Also, make sure that display windows of the main body front panel turn on. Only in Ready mode, the aiming beam may be emitted according to the set conditions of LC-300G. Display windows show current settings: Immediately after power on, settings and displays are as shown below: •...
OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USING When using the remote controller RE-1G, refer to "INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS (RE-1G)". When the remote controller is connected, it is impossible to set the laser emission on the LC-300G main body. Repeat mode button Standby/Ready Emission Emission time...
CONFIRMATION IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USING This instrument becomes ready for use after the self-check after activation is finished. Now the instrument can be used for treatment, but to prevent the treatment from being interrupted due to anomalies, check the condition for the following items: Are the names of the connected delivery units displayed in the status display window correctly? The instrument detects the connected delivery units automatically.
OBSERVATION Before using, surely adjust the diopter and interpupillary distance. Incorrect adjustments will lead to improper treatment. CAUTION Before using, surely adjust the focus and position of the aiming beam. Incorrect adjustments will lead to improper treatment. (When the slit lamp attachment for laser photocoagulator is connected) For the operation method of observation using SL-10L G, see "INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS (SL-10L G)"...
LASER EMISSION FOR TREATMENT (SL-10L G) Adjust the aiming light volume by the Aiming beam output knob, as necessary. Aiming beam output knob The light volume increases by turning the knob clockwise and decreases by turning the knob counterclockwise. The black spot mark shows the currently set light volume. Turn the Spot size adjustment knob of SL-10L G and get a laser beam spot size suitable for the purpose.
Press the Emission switch of SL-10L G and emit the laser beam for treatment. Emission switch When using the Footswitch, the the laser beam for treatment is emitted by stepping the Footswitch. When the laser beam for treatment is emitted, the emission count is added to on the count display window each time.

Move the spot size adjustment knob of SA-1G to adjust the spot size of laser beam according to your purpose. Spot size adjustment knob Spot size indicator If the aiming beam is not in focus, the spot size (coagulation spot) does not follow the dis- play.
LIST OF FACTORS TO BE ADJUSTED DURING USING Setting items that can be adjusted when using LC-300G are shown below. Since it would endanger the patient if the laser beam is emitted by setting the emission output and emission time for excessively large values, surely set these for proper values for treatment.
Clean the main body, SL-10L G and others. For the method of cleaning, refer to the following pages. LC-300G instrument: "MAINTENANCE AND CHECKING (LC-300G)” on page 55 SL-10L G: "MAINTENANCE AND CHECKING (SL-10L G)” on page 58 SA-1G: "MAINTENANCE AND CHECKING (SA-1G)” on page 61 For accessories which are not used for the next operation, to prevent these from being damaged, remove them from the laser slit lamp and others and keep them at the specified place.
INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS (SL-10L G) DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT AND INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT OF LASER SLIT LAMP SL-10L G Before using, surely adjust the diopter and interpupillary distance. CAUTION Incorrect adjustments will lead to improper treatment. Insert the test rod into the rotary shaft, and set the black face vertically to the microscope. Turn ON the Power switch, and bring the Illumination volume adjustment knob to the middle position.
OPERATING THE BASE (FOCUSING) When operating the main unit, watch the space between the moving parts and protect your fingers. CAUTION When operating the main unit, watch the patient's face and protect the eyes and nose from moving parts. Control lever Base Base brake knob Horizontal coarse movement...
OPERATING THE ILLUMINATION UNIT Set the illumination for a proper brightness. An excessive brightness CAUTION will not only bother the patient but may cause damage to the eye. Turn the illumination arm within 10 degrees right and left. If the laser beam hits MEMO internal metal parts, the actual laser output may lower below the set value.
MEMO When installing the slit lamp attachment, use the accessory mount. When installing the slit lamp attachment for laser photocoagulator SA-1G to the Topcon photo slit lamp SL-7F or slit lamp SL-D7, the extension shaft EH-1 is necessary. See "INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS (EH-1)" on page 51.
FOCUS AND POSITION ADJUSTMENT OF AIMING BEAM FOR SLIT LAMP ATTACHMENT FOR LASER PHOTOCOAGULATOR SA-1G Don't use the test rod for focus adjustment. CAUTION Focus is not fit when treatment is done for a patient. Correct treatment is not possible. Set the light of slit lamp biomicroscope toward the fixation lamp.
