WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE CASE COVER FROM THE GENERATOR OR THE TRANSDUCER. THERE ARE
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS.

Possible causes are: Loose Probe to Transducer connection, Cracked or Damaged Probes, Defective Transducer or Overload condition at
Probe tip.
Reset
To reset Mechanical Limit Alarm, release Footswitch. Depress Footswitch again. If Mechanical Limit Light and Audible Alarm sounds, refer to

Troubleshooting Chart.

CAUTION: Ultrasonic energy is inhibited if excessive physical force is applied to the probe; use only enough force to guide the probe to
the removal site and to advance the probe through the tissue. Do not force the probe; allow the ultrasonic action to
do all tissue cutting or coagulation.
