Portable Diode Laser Power Level Adjustment:
Power can be adjusted by using the UP and DOWN arrow keys to increase (UP) or decrease (DOWN) the
power setting. The power level setting will be displayed by the Laser Power Level Indicator. Upon initial power-
up, the unit defaults to the CW mode and the CW icon on the control panel glows green. The power
setting will default to 0.8 Watts and will be displayed in the LASER POWER window.
Continuous Wave and Pulse Mode:
Continuous Wave (CW) or 10 Hz Pulse modes for Laser power delivery may be selected by pressing the
“CW/P” toggle key. The icon for the selected mode will glow green.
READY Activation of Sapphire Portable Diode Laser Unit:
Press the READY button in either CW or PULSE to change from STANDBY to READY status and prepare the
unit for Laser activation. The LED embedded on the READY button will glow green indicating that the Laser is
in “READY” status. Changing the mode or power level releases the unit from “READY” status requiring the user
to select the new setting by pressing the READY button again. Settings may not be changed when the laser is
activated. Pressing the READY button without changing the Laser power level or mode toggles the system back
to STANDBY status.
When the unit is placed into READY mode, the LED in the READY button glows green, offering a visual
indication that the unit is READY to fi re the working beam. As described below, the aiming beam is emitted when
the unit is set to READY.
Aiming Beam Adjustment:
The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser provides a visible light that illuminates the site at which the Laser working
beam will be active, allowing the operator to aim the beam before and during activation. The Aiming Beam is
active in READY status and therefore also serves as a visual indicator of READY status at the Handpiece. The
Aiming Beam is adjustable from its minimum (default) setting of 0.4mW to its maximum of 2mW and to (OFF).
To set Aiming Beam output, press and hold the READY button for 5 seconds, the aiming beam will begin fi ring
at its default setting of 0.4mW. Use a piece of articulating paper as a target to gauge the desired output of
the aiming beam. The Laser Power Display will show ‘A 1.’ Press the DOWN button to turn OFF the Aiming
Beam. The Display will read ‘A 0.’ Pressing the UP button increases Aiming Beam output in approximately 20%
increments to 2mW, displayed as ‘A 5’ in the LASER POWER window. Press the READY button to select the
desired Aiming Beam output and exit the Aiming Beam setting mode. The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser will be
READY (to fi re the working beam) at this point and the Aiming Beam will be emitting as set.
Laser Activation and Laser “ON” Indication:
The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser working beam can be activated using either the handpiece ON/OFF actuator
or the (optional) footswitch, but not both at the same time. The footswitch overrides the handpiece controls when
installed. Unplug the footswitch from the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser Control Module if it will not be used.
