Pilot Laser
The red pilot laser beam is an aiming tool used for marking the spot where the CO
should hit the tissue. As the red pilot laser light poses no hazards for the observer, no special
protective goggles are required. The red spot can be easily recognized also when wearing the
regular CO
laser protective goggles.

The pilot laser beam is switched on with the "PILOT" button (S2, Fig. 6.5). Its brightness
(intensity) can be controlled with the "SELECT" button. After highlighting the bottom line of the
display screen with "SELECT", the beam intensity can be adjusted across a range of 1% to
100% with the arrow buttons.
The red pilot laser beam is always automatically switched on when you activate the laser with
the "LASER READY" button (S3, Fig. 6.5). "On" status is indicated by the yellow LED lighting
up in the S2 button.

Switching off the Pilot Laser
It may be necessary to deactivate the pilot beam during therapy. This can be done by pressing
the "PILOT" button twice. After the first push, the yellow control light starts flashing. It will go
out if the button is operated again within 3 seconds. If the second push does not follow in
time, the pilot laser simply remains on.
