1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
BTL-2000 is a portable therapeutic laser that employs red and infrared BTL laser probes of various
powers.
BTL-2000 is designed for easy use and is understandable even for those who are new to laser
technology. The laser beam irradiation strength is easy to regulate. Parameters can easily be
changed as desired and your own programmes can be created and saved. BTL-2000 software
allows continuous change of frequency, density, power, area and time. Considering all parameters
are correlated, when a parameter is changed the instrument automatically recalculates the
remaining parameters.
BTL-2000 provides preset programmes for the following medical fields: rehabilitation, orthopaedics
dentistry, gynaecology, neurology, dermatology, ENT, sports medicine, paediatrics, and general
practice. The use of the preset programmes can significantly speed up therapy. When a field and
diagnosis is chosen, the instrument will automatically set up the therapy parameters.
BTL-2000 excels with its high power and operates in both Continuous and Pulse modes. In the
pulse mode it is possible to modify the DUTY FACTOR of output frequency in the range of
10–90 %. BTL-2000 enables the user to precisely determine the necessary probe distance from
skin by setting the desired therapy surface area. BTL-2000 automatically tests laser probe
performance and corrects the power for optimal laser output. BTL-2000 is compatible with both
digital and analog probes.
BTL-2000 is especially suitable for acupuncture treatment. BTL-2000 has two modes for easy and
percise location of acupuncture points. While the instrument measures the changes in skin
resisitivity, visual and accoustic signals indicate acupuncture point locations. The instrument is also
pre-programmed with Nogier and EAV frequencies.
For dentistry, gynaecology and ENT special optical attachments enable the laser to treat difficult to
reach places. The optical attachments are easily attatched to the probe and ready for use.
BTL-2000 complies with all internationally recognised laser instrument specifications.

BTL 2000 is controlled by means of an interactive menu. Press the [ + ] or [ - ] push buttons to move between menu
settings. The selected setting is indicated by an arrow in the display’s left margin. The presence of an additional
arrow indicates that the menu exceeds four lines when selecting the last setting on the display. Press [ENTER] to
confirm selected setting. Press [ESC/STOP] to return to previous menu.
The lower margin of the push buttons contains a set of letters. For entering letters, choose the desired letter by the
number of push button presses relative to the placement of that character on the push button. For example in the
figure above, U is entered by pressing the [Tab] push button once, V is entered by pressing the [Tab] push button
twice, etc..
11 characters can be entered using each lettered push button. For entering non letter characters, choose the desired
character by the number of push button presses relative to the placement of that character in the table below. For

2.2 Instrument Assembly and Initiation
Carefully unpack instrument and place on a sturdy and level surface (max. 15°angle). Place in cool, dry environment
out of reach from direct sunlight. Instrument generates heat when in use therefore it should not be placed in the
vicinity of other heat generating devices. This may cause overheating of instrument. The instrument is cooled by
natural air convection. Do not cover instrument with flammable materials. Do not place instrument in proximity of
devices that emit strong eletric, magnetic, or electro-magnetic fields (motors, transformers, X-rays, etc.). This can
cause electromagnetic interference. In case of any misunderstanding, please contact your BTL service
representative.
Before the INITIAL turning on of instrument, check the Voltage Converter located on the adapter to insure it
is in the correct position and in accordance with the mains voltage parameters. Voltage coversion is further
described in the chapter Maintenance 2.12. In case of any misunderstanding, please contact your BTL service
representative.
We recommend proper storage of the instrument box in case additional transport of instrument is necessary.
The instrument applies irradiation only, it does not apply any pharmaceuticals or substances.
Connecting instrument (DOOR connector on the lower panel) with the door contact is recommended. For further
information see Safety 2.13.
The power will be ON following the pressing of the mains power switch on the upper panel. When the battary is low, a
“Low battery“ warning will be signalled on the display. It is then necessary to connect the mains power adapter to
recharge the battery.
When turning the instrument on you MUST NOT press any buttons on the front panel. This will generate the
error sign “Error 100 – Keyboard button jammed”. It is then necessary to turn off the instrument for minimum
of three seconds to allow it to reset. (See NOTE).
It is now necessary to enter a code to unlock the instrument. The manufacture code is preset as 0000. If it is not
modified you can continue by pressing the [ENTER] push button. It is possible to change the code using the
instructions in the chapter User diagnoses 2.4.1. Once the accurate code has been entered, the display shows th
main menu. If there are any other reactions after the turning on of the instrument do not attach laser probe and
contact BTL service technician before further use.
NOTE: After turning the instrument on and before the entering of the code, the instrument is testing its internal
functions (∼0.5 sec.). If the instrument finds an internal problem, you will see the error notice “Error“ and the
instrument will then be locked in Safe Mode. In this case, it is necessary to contact your BTL service representative. If
the error notification “Error 100 – Keyboard button jammed“ is displayed, it is either an operating error or it is
possible a button is jammed. In the second case, try to release the affected button or contact your BTL service
representative.
2.3 Starting Operation
Switch the instrument on by pressing the power switch on the upper panel. Enter the safety code on initial screen.

2.5 Adjusting therapy parameters
When adjusting preset therapy parameters, use the [MENU] push button to enter patient files, diagnoses, or user
settings.
2.5.1 Density
When the density is adjusted, the instrument automatically recalculates therapy time and power parameters.
2.5.2 Irradiated Area
When using a divergent probe, use the following table for the probe distances from skin:
Irradiated area
[cm2]
Distance of probe from skin
[cm]
0.5 1.5
1 2
1.5 2.5
2 3
2.5 3.5
3 4
When using a divergent probe, depth of penetration changes according to the distance of the probe from skin and it
is necessary to deduct the desired depth of penetration from the displayed distance of probe.
When using a convergent probe, distance of the probe from the skin is not a crucial factor. The distance is not
measured because the beams are parallel.
2.5.3 Power
When the power is adjusted, the instrument automatically recalculates the duration of exposure. Power value could
be adjusted within range 20% to 100% of maximal probe output. Output power and the duration of therapy has an
inverse relationship. An increase in power output will result in a decrease in therapy duration. Density will remain the
same. The instrument calculates output power in tenths of mW, but the display only shows whole numbers. Maximum
and minimum power depends on the type of probe used, preset density and area.

Backlight intensity is relative to the energy consumed; the operation time of the battaries is influenced by the
backlight intensity. We recommend not setting this intensity too high.
2.8.4.3 DF change
If the instrument is operating in pulse mode (it means the frequency is not set to 0) it is possible to adjust the Duty
Factor of the output signal. Duty factor (%) defines the ratio of impulse length to period length. The preset value is
80%, and can vary from 10% to 90%. The instrument recalculates the correlating time and power in response to the
changing of the mean value of the laser beam. DF value in frequency mode has significant influence on the
calculated time. If the time is too long, increase the DF and the time length will automatically decrease. The following
figure compares two different duty factors with other conditions being constant. If DF is higher, the laser irradiates a
higher mode (average) and the time length shortens.
