Inspiration
The true sign of intelligence is not
knowledge but imagination.
Albert Einstein
Laser technology enables clinicians to provide less invasive treatment for
many preventative, restorative, cosmetic, and surgical soft tissue procedures.
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser represents a new advancement in dental
laser technology. With its unique eye-catching design, simple user interface,
and multiple wavelength modes, you can perform a range of soft-tissue pro-
cedures with ease.
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser is the first soft tissue dental laser to provide
a choice of two laser wavelengths in one system. You have the ability to se-
lect laser settings that best suit specific procedures and patient needs based
on tissue type and optimal wavelength absorption characteristics.
You will discover that the Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser cuts faster, reduc-
es tissue tagging and generates less collateral thermal heat than other di-
ode lasers you may have used, allowing you to provide a higher standard of
care. The laser also features an incredible, innovative transparent display
designed to wow your patients.
Choosing to integrate laser technology into your practice yields many bene-
fits, including increased patient comfort and satisfaction and more efficient
treatment. To get the maximum benefits of laser technology, consider joining
a study group so that you can exchange tips and ideas with fellow clinicians. A
study group is also an excellent way to keep abreast of the latest procedures
and technological advances. A great place to start is the Academy of Laser
Dentistry, www.laserdentistry.org.

Failure to comply with precautions and warnings described in this User Manual may lead to exposure
to dangerous optical radiation sources. Please comply with all safety instructions and warnings.
CAUTION: Do not use in the presence of combustible or combustion-supporting gases.
CAUTION: Always test activate the device outside the mouth before using on a patient.
CAUTION: This unit has been designed and tested to meet the requirements
of electromagnetic, electrostatic, and radio frequency interference standards.
However, the possibility of electromagnetic or other interference may still
exist. Relocating the device may help to eliminate the interference.
CAUTION: Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in pages 44-48 of this manual.
CAUTION: Periodically inspect laser eyewear for pitting and cracking.
CAUTION: Read these instructions carefully prior to using your Gemini 810 + 980
diode laser.
CAUTION: Always wind the fiber optic cable in a clockwise manner around the fiber
wrap to avoid fiber breakage (See Page 26).
Safety is paramount when using any energy-based surgical instrument, and your office should
implement a safety program for the Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser. If your office does not already
have a safety officer, one should be appointed to be responsible for understanding proper use, safe
operation, and maintenance of the Gemini laser system. Their duties should include training office
personnel in all aspects of system safety and management of the Gemini laser and all accessories.
CAUTION: Ensure that all users are properly trained prior to use. Consult your
distributor for training recommendations.

Select Your Desired Power Setting
During initial setup use the AC/DC power supply for at least one hour
to fully charge the battery. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet and
connect to the corresponding connector on the rear of the system.
Install the (2) provided AA batteries into the wireless activation pedal.
When replacing the AA betteries, we recomend an ALKALINE type
battery.
The universal ON/OFF button is a membrane switch that requires
pressure in order to be activated.

01 - ELECTRONIC KEY PASSCODE
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser is equipped with an electronic key passcode. When you turn the
laser unit on, the passcode key screen will be displayed at the bottom center of the screen. The
correct passcode sequence should be entered on the Keypad:
UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN
CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE
Access to Laser will not be granted
until correct passcode is entered.

02 - SELECTING A WAVELENGTH
When the system is turned on, and the electronic passcode is properly input (Page 14), you will
be prompted to select the desired wavelength. A voice confirmation will say, “Please select
wavelength,” and two wavelength rings will flash. The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser can operate in
three wavelength modes: 810 nm alone, 980 nm alone, or Dual Wavelength. A wavelength mode
must be selected before proceeding further, but may be changed at any time.

03 - ACTIVATION PEDAL CONNECTION
Install the provided 2 AA batteries
into the Activation Pedal.
Enter the passcode.
Depress the activation pedal.
Connection between the activation
pedal and laser unit is done
automatically.
The activation pedal comes with a protective shroud
to prevent accidental laser activation. Please do not
step on the protective shroud as it could result in
accidental damage to the activation pedal.
Turn the laser unit ON.
Select the wavelength of choice. A Bluetooth indicator will appear
onthe displayand activationpedal
when it is properly connected and
the laser is in Active mode.
Connecting the activation pedal to your laser unit via Bluetooth for the first time is simple.

04 - MANUAL POWER ADJUSTMENT
CLINICAL TIP
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser can output up to a maximum of 2.0 watts of average power. To
adjust the power setting manually, touch the UP and DOWN or the LEFT and RIGHT arrows on the
keypad. Each touch of an arrow raises or lowers the power by 0.1 watts. Touching and holding an
arrow will increase the speed in which the power setting is raised or lowered. Touch the ACTIVE
button to put the laser in active mode. Depress the activation pedal to activate the laser.
Maximum results will be achieved by regulating the power output of the laser and the speed
at which the operator moves the fiber optic tip. Tissue charring is an undesirable aftereffect
of using too much power or of the fiber tip moving too slowly.. Always use the least amount of
power that is required to complete your procedure. The ideal treatment will result in little or no
discoloration, less collateral damage, and faster healing.
Avoid penetrating or damaging the periosteum, and do not attempt to use the laser on alveolar
bone. Because the laser energy is attracted to melanin and hemoglobin, power must be reduced
when treating patients with dark-pigmented soft tissue.
CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE

05 - LASER STANDBY AND ACTIVE MODES
The ACTIVE/STANDBY keypad selection serves a dual purpose. It activates (ACTIVE) and deactivates
the laser (STANDBY). By default, the system powers up in Standby mode. The laser cannot be activated
priortoselectingawavelength.EachtimetheACTIVE/STANDBYselectionistouched,thesystemtoggles
between Active and Standby modes. There is an audio confirmation (unless voice confirmation is
muted), and an icon for either “ACTIVE” or “STANDBY” is displayed near each wavelength indicator.
The red aiming beam and tip illumination are visible only when the laser is in Active mode.
When the system is in Active mode, touching any selection other than UP and DOWN or LEFT and
RIGHT will return the system to the Standby mode. When the activation pedal is depressed in the
Active mode, the outer indicator ring around each wavelength icon on the display flashes to provide
a visual indication that the laser is firing. There is also an audio beep when laser is being fired. For
safety purposes, a laser firing delay of 0.25 seconds was implemented in order to prevent accidental
activation.
