The following note is a clarified version of an earlier newsletter. I trust it will be easier to follow.

The CL mini, from laser end of unit, has an led beam indicator light, followed by a button and a rotary switch (knob). 

The rotary switch has four positions,

1.  Off

2. Standby,

3. 15 sec which is equal to a 15 x 8 mW = 0.12 J dose

4. 60 sec which is equal to a 60 x 8 mW = 0.48 J dose.

To activate the CL mini 8mw laser, first select your required time (15 or 60 seconds), wait 2 seconds as laser will not start prior to 2 seconds after selecting time, this is a built in safety precaution, then hold down the button until laser beam turns off.

Laser will turn off automatically when the time is reached. To reduce the time or turn off laser simply release the button.

Between uses switch the laser to standby mode and at the end of every therapy session switch to Off to turn the laser off and reduce battery consumption.

For a detailed explanation of treatment time and laser usage please read the CL Mini Laser Manual

The CL plus (from the front end of the unit) has an led beam indicator light, a button, another led battery indicator light and two rotary switches (knobs).

1. The first led light (nearest the front of the unit) is a beam on indicator.

2. The button starts the beam (unless the first switch is in the off position).

3. The rear light is battery health light; it flashes green for good and orange for weak.

4. The first rotary switch has the following positions Off, child acupuncture, adult acupuncture and then laser therapy. The following laser therapy options of this switch are to select the size of the area you intend to treat in cm's squared.

5. The second rotary switch is to select the strength of the beam in joules per cm squared.

To use the laser acupuncture mode first select child or adult acupuncture, then wait two seconds and tap the button, you do not need to hold the button for the full duration. The right hand dial position is irrelevant in the acupuncture positions.

For laser therapy, the left hand dial position selects the area to be treated in square cm's. and the right hand dial selects the amount of energy per unit area.

Start treatments at the low end of 0.5 or 1.0 Joule per square cm to keep treatment times reasonable. Increase if necessary.

Treatment time is proportional to the product of area and energy per unit area. Doubling the energy per unit area will double the treatment time.

*Note the CL plus 100 has faster delivery times, delivering one joule in 10 seconds compared with 17 seconds for the 60mW laser.

For a detailed explanation of laser usage please refer to your CL plus laser manuals.
