Problems

Use the information in this section if you are not successful with the system

check-out. Consult this section to resolve the problem before you call AMO for

technical service:

• Make sure that you plugged the system in to a power receptacle.

• Make sure that there is electrical power to the receptacle.

• If there is no

phacoemulsification,

make sure that the phaco needle is tight on the

handpiece.

• If there is no

phacoemulsification,

make sure that the phaco needle is compatible

with the handpiece (for example, non-AMO phaco needle on an AMO

handpiece).

• If there is no phacoemulsification, confirm there is no damage to the phaco

needle/handpiece by dropping or misuse.

• If no irrigation occurs, shake the drip chamber to confirm that the ball or the

valve moves freely. If there is no rattle sound, replace the drip chamber with

another disposable pack.

Fuse Replacement

Procedure

If the system does not turn on when you press the power switch, you have

confirmed that you attached the power cord properly, and you plugged the cord in,

check to see if the fuse is bad.

Note: To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the instrument, replace the fuses

with the exact type and rating as indicated below (check the voltage sticker

on the back panel of the system to confirm your system voltage):
