5.4.8 Select Your Power
Press the arrows until you have reached the desired Wattage. Beginning with a low of 0.1 Watts, the power increas-
es in increments of 100 mW up to a maximum of 3.0 Watts (CW). By holding the arrow keys to increase or decrease
the power, you can have an un-interrupted increase until you reach your desired power.
5.4.9 Selecting Programs
At the Main Menu Screen you will have choices to select a program by scrolling the “Procedures” list in alphabetical
order, or by choosing “Specialty” which lists programs grouped by specialty categories such as Cosmetic or
Periodontics. You can also create your own Favorites programs by following the screen instructions under “Save as
Favorite”.
5.4.10 Aiming Beam
The aiming beam laser pointer can be turned on and off by pressing the aiming beam button on the laser control
panel. Press the arrow buttons to progressively increase or decrease the aiming beam intensity from 0 (off) to full
intensity. Each circle represents approximately 20% of the aiming beam output.
NOTE: Adjusting the intensity of the aiming beam has no effect on the output power of the primary working laser.
5.4.11 Tips
The tips are provided pre-cleaved and polished for immediate use. Examine the Fiber Tip to insure that there is not a
fiber tip shard (see Fig 5.6.11a and b for comparison). The shard can act like a miniature scalpel and cause damage
while diffusing the light beam and lowering the laser’s power.

Poor cleave – Fig. 5.4.11b
5.4.12 Procedure
1. Depress the Ready button and the aiming beam should light after 2 seconds. Review your power and mode
requirements and then depress the mode button to select either CW or Pulsed mode.
2. Test fire the laser outside the mouth by activating the laser into a 2 X 2 gauze sponge that has been wetted
with water to prevent combustion. Do not use flammable liquids to wet the sponge.
3. Initiate tip as described in Chapter 6.1.3, if needed.
4. Depress the foot pedal and make short quick strokes at the lowest power that you can to remove the target
tissues while lightly contacting it.
5. Remove your foot from the foot pedal and use a clean 2 X 2 gauze sponge wetted with water to remove debris
from the fiber tip. Do not use flammable liquids to wet the sponge.
