5. Control Panel and Troubleshooting
Indication Status
The batteries are being charged.
The batteries are fully charged.
The “ ” indicates that the device is presently in operation.
Full Battery Power.
The batteries are low; two beeps will sound after switching the device on as a reminder to charge it.

B-CURE®LASER LLLT-808 |10

Indication Status
B-CURE®LASER will automatically power off after 10 beeps because of flat batteries..
The “LOW” sign appears on the screen when laser power falls below the required level. Stop the
treatment. This situation can happen for the following reasons:
1. Battery power is too low.
2. The laser diode has reached the end of its life time and has to be replaced at the service center.
3. The device is being operated under environmental conditions not conforming to the specifications;
for example, the device is being operated at an excessive external temperature higher than 40ºC.
Recharge the batteries, turn the device on, and then see if the “LOW” sign still appears. If it does,
check if the environment is not too warm, and draw away from the warm area. In case the area
is not above 40ºC and the “LOW” sign is still on, the device is to be sent to the service center for
replacement of the laser diode.
11 |B-CURE®LASER LLLT-808

Indication Status

6. B-CURE®LASER Treatment Dosages
For acute pain, fresh injury or burns, it is recommended to begin treatment as close to the event as possible,
apply up to 10 consecutive treatments of 6-8 minutes each with a 5 minute break between individual
treatments. The results will amaze you.
For chronic pain continue to treat until the problem is relieved or resolved. There is no time limit.
When performing soft-laser therapy, it is possible to experience initial worsening of the pain with improvements
occurring 1-2 days later. It is therefore recommended that for the first treatment the device is used on the intended
area for only 1.5 minutes. If more pain is felt for up to 3 hours after the first treatment, please wait 24 hours before
continuing and increase the treatment time gradually till you reach the treatment time recommended by the
guidelines in the table below. Number of treatments and their duration are given as recommendations only; the
exact dosages should be modified according to the patient’s feeling and the results.
Please note that larger areas require proportionately longer treatment times (see section 6.1 on page 16).
For example: in order to treat back pain in an area of up to 4.5 cm2the duration of the treatment is 6-8 minutes;
for an area of 9 cm2(2 x 4.5 cm2) the duration of the treatment is 12-16 minutes. The exact time of treatment in the
morning and evening does not matter, but treatment should be twice daily or according to the treatment protocols.

7.Treatment Protocols
Instructions for treatment with B-CURE®LASER LLLT-808
All recommended treatment requires carefully examining the illustration.
The treatment time for each one of the following points is 6-8 minutes per treated area of 4.5 cm2, multiplied by the
number of recommended treated areas. For example, for the treatment of the lower back (No. 5 in the illustration)
there are three treatment points of 4.5 cm2each. Therefore, the treatment time will be 6-8 minutes multiplied by 3,
i.e., 18-24 minutes. You should continue the treatment 2-4 times a day according to the instructions, until full recovery
or until relief is achieved. It is highly recommended that for the first treatment the device is used on the intended
area for only 1.5 minutes, so that the body can get used to the treatment. Then, it is recommended to increase the
treatment time gradually till you reach the treatment times recommended by the guidelines in section 6 Treatment
Dosages in page 14. For best results, please hold the device onto the treated area without moving it. You need a
lot of patience and determination in order to achieve best results. The long shape of B-CURE’s laser beam, whose
dimensions are 4.5 cm x 1 cm, is specially adapted to the treatment requirements and the shape of the body. In order
to achieve optimal results, please pay close attention to the written instructions and the illustration, not only for the
location of the treatment, but to the position of the device in terms of the direction of the laser beam’s length.
17 |B-CURE®LASER LLLT-808

The order of the treatment will always be on the painful point first, and then moving to additional points, in order to
make sure the primary location of the problem, as per the patient’s personal feeling, is treated first
.
