System Components
Foot Pedal
The foot pedal controls all of the system functions, therefore, it is essential that you
understand the foot pedal operation.
The system software automatically detects if a foot pedal is present and what type of foot
pedal is attached during start up.
The foot pedal settings and adjustments can be selected and preset for all of the foot pedals
on the Foot Pedal Setup screen. Instructions for the foot pedal settings are given in “Edit
Surgeon Settings” on page 5-4. The foot pedal housing incorporates a handle, making the
foot pedal easy to grip for repositioning and storage.
NOTE: Always handle the foot pedal by its handle, not by its cable.
The foot pedal cable attaches to the foot pedal connector on the rear of the console. The
VERITAS Foot Pedal, Advanced Control Pedal, and the Advanced Linear Pedal can also be
set up with a wireless connection.
If the foot pedal is not activated four to six minutes after the system is shut down, the
wireless foot pedals go into a power-save mode.
• To wake-up the VERITAS Foot Pedal after you start up the system, depress and release the
treadle or any of the buttons.
• To activate the Advanced Control Pedal after you start up the system, touch the wake-up
button on the foot pedal.
• To wake-up the Advanced Linear Pedal after you start up the system, tap the pedal.
After two hours, when the system is on and the wireless Advanced Control Pedal is inactive,
it will go into a power-save mode. The wireless Advanced Linear Pedal and wireless VERITAS
Foot Pedal only go to sleep when the system is shut down.
