Device Set Up
Use of accessories and cables other than those specified, with the exception of cables
sold by the manufacturer as replacement parts for internal components, may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device�
1. Before you plug in the device, verify that the LUA lamp is correctly inserted into the
handpiece� A spring mechanism allows the lamp to retract when pressed to the
skin and it will not operate correctly if improperly placed�
2. Attach the power cordto the back of the device�
3. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet�
You are now ready to start�

11
4. Know Before You Start
The Counter
FSD Plus features a pulse counter window� This will help you to better plan your
treatments and advise you when to replace the LUA lamp�
Treatment Pulses (Treat):
This line counts the amount of pulses per treatment� Reset the treatment counter by
turning the unit off between clients�
Unit Pulses (Total):
This line counts the amount of pulses performed overall by your FSD Plus unit� When
the number approaches 100,000, it is time to replace the LUA lamp� The unit pulse
counter will not reset�
Client Records
Keeping records is very important for client satisfaction� We recommend tracking:
•The energy level used during the last procedure�
•The number of passes�
•The number of pulses per treatment�
•The number of procedures performed�
•Miscellaneous information such as the reaction to treatment�
•Your client’s response to the treatment�
Another important factor in ensuring optimal satisfaction is the use of a photographic
diary� Since some changes are subtle and occur over time, it is important to have a
photographic diary that will graphically document the improvement for all your clients�

12
General Guidelines
FSD Plus can be used as a stand alone treatment, or may be combined with other skin
care routines�
While you should rely on your experience and expertise in this area, we recommend
the following treatment regimen as to the best way to incorporate FSD Plus into a
comprehensive skin care program�
1. Cleanse
2. Dry
3. 2 passes with FSD Plus
4. Cool hydrating mask
5. Massage (non-oily lotion)
6. Apply toners
7. Apply moisturizers (non-stringent, non-alcoholic)
8. Apply moisturizing sun screen (SPF 30 or higher)
Understanding Energy Levels and Pulsing Sequences
Note: Energy levels should always be set according to your client’s comfort level�
Since at first FSD Plus may feel uncomfortably hot on the skin, it is very important to be
cautious and continually test your client’s skin temperature and comfort level�
•There are three energy level options; low, medium and high� Each energy level
setting represents the number of pulses being delivered during the pulse sequence�
The more pulses delivered during the sequence, the higher the total level of energy
ultimately delivered to the procedure area� It is therefore important to deliver the
maximum total light energy possible without causing excessive redness or pain�
•It is also important to know that the more light energy delivered to the skin, the better
the effectiveness of the procedure�

13
•Differences in skin type, biology and comfort levels usually dictate that you must
initially treat at the lower energy level settings� After the first 1-2 treatment sessions,
however, the skin generally becomes less sensitive, which will allow you to gradually
increase the energy level during subsequent uses�
•Note: The goal is to deliver the highest number of pulses for maximum efficacy� It is
recommended to use the highest setting possible, according to your client’s comfort,
even if this means you will need to remove the handpiece due to discomfort before
the sequence is completed�
Whatever level you treat at, your client’s comfort level should be the guide to the energy
level setting�
Important Notes:
•skin types 4 & 5 should only be treated with the low energy setting�
•Never treat skin type 6 with FSD Plus�
Use the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Classification below to determine skin type:
Fitzpatrick Skin Type Classification
123456
Always burns, never
tans
Always burns, less
than average tan
Always burns,
average tan
Rarely burns, tans
easily
Moderately
pigmented, always
tans
Deeply pigmented,
never tans
Note: Darker skin may be more sensitive to the energy emitted from the lamp and may
therefore require a lower energy level setting�

14
Scheduling
For optimal results, FSD Plus treatments should be performed twice a week for 4 to 5
weeks� Maintenance treatments can be performed once a month or as needed�
5. Operating Instructions
Test
Always test your client’s reaction to FSD Plus before beginning the actual treatment�
Deliver 1-3 pulses in discreet areas and wait at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours for skin
types 4-5) for any possible negative reactions�
Use the settings below for the initial test�
Skin Type Energy Level
1-3 Low-Medium
4-5 Low

15
Treatment
1. Thoroughly cleanse and dry the skin�
2. Apply a hygienic ring to the treatment head�
You may reuse a hygienic ring for each client�
Use a different hygienic ring for each client�
3. Press the power switch found on
the top of the device� When the
Ready indicator lights up, start
treatment�
4. Using light pressure, place the handpiece on the skin�
Make sure to stretch the skin where you apply the
handpiece� Once the handpiece opening is placed
correctly, an audio signal will sound� Always make sure
the lamp opening is in full contact with the skin before
pushing the pulse switch�

16
5. Press and hold the pulse switch to trigger a sequence
of therapeutic light pulses� This sequence takes a few
seconds, depending on the energy level setting (see
specifications)�
If during the pulse sequence the Light Unit Assembly
feels too hot on the skin, remove it immediately and wait
until the ready indicator lights up again�
6. After emitting a pulse sequence, remove the handpiece from the skin for about 10
seconds to allow the Light Unit Assembly to cool down� Apply the next sequence
only when the Ready indicator lights up�
Placing the handpiece on the skin before the Ready indicator lights up may result
in unwanted side effects due to pre-heating of the skin�
7. Sequentially administer pulses on the treatment area
from right to left, in a horizontal pattern, with no overlap�
Stacking and/or overlapping may cause crusting or
blisters which could result in transient pigmentation
changes�

17
8. After covering the entire area, wait one to two minutes
to allow the skin to cool down then repeat the
procedure making sure to begin at the initial starting
point with the handpiece held vertically�
9 . When treatment is complete, turn the device off by pressing the power switch�
Notes:
•Wait 5 minutes between two consecutive uses�
•Stop use if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns�
•Apply pulses with no more than a 20% overlap�

18
Post Treatment
•Avoid sun exposure or protect skin with sunscreen throughout the treatment process
and for at least for 3 weeks following the last use�
•Use a moisturizing sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) for at least 3 weeks after treatment�
•Some device users may experience hyperpigmentation resulting from the treatment�
These effects, when they occur, are generally mild and transient and may be treated
with a bleaching agent� Stay out of the sun until the hyperpigmentation condition
resolves�
6. Maintenance
Cleaning
•Always unplug the device prior to cleaning it�
•Use only a specially formulated cleaner for electronic equipment�
•Never immerse the unit or any of its parts in water�
LUA Replacement
The LUA has a life of 100,000 pulses, enough for more than 200 full facials� Although
the lamp may continue to flash after that, the pulses will be weak and ineffectual� To
ensure effectiveness always replace the LUA when the total line on the pulse counter
reaches 100,000 or an equivalent thereof�

19
To insert or replace the LUA:
Picture A Picture B
1. Turn the device off and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet�
2. Grasp the LUA by both ends and pull it out of the socket (Picture A)�
3. Line up the holes in the socket with the metal and plastic posts in the LUA and
push it gently into place (Picture B)�
4. If correctly installed, the LUA will spring back when pushed in and released�
Fuse Replacement
Should the device turn off unexpectedly or fail to operate when you have plugged it in
and pushed the on/off switch, it is possible that you may have a blown fuse� To check
this:
1. Turn the device off and unplug the cord from the wall electrical outlet�
2. Pull out the fuse drawer located at the rear part of the base� Remove the inner fuse�
Check the filament if it is severed the fuse needs to be replaced�
3. Replace the fuse with the
spare (located in the outer
bay of the fuse drawer) and
push the drawer back into
place�

20
7. Troubleshooting
If the device does not start:
•Make sure that the power cord is connected into the wall electrical outlet�
•Check the fuse inside the fuse drawer� Replace fuse if blown (see instructions on
Fuse Replacment section)�
•If a pulse sequence is not released when pressing the Pulse Switch:
•Gently press the Handpiece opening onto the skin and listen for the audio signal�
If there is no audio signal, contact FSD Plus service center�
•The device might be overheated� Turn off the device for 30 minutes to allow it to
cool down�
•If the pulse rate within a sequence slows down or if the charging and ready indicators
turn on and off repeatedly, the device may be overheated� Turn off the device for 30
minutes to allow it to cool down�
•If at any point the device goes into charging mode for longer periods, this is due to
an internal safety mechanism that monitors the LUA temperature and is designed to
avoid over-heating� Wait until the ready indicator light turns on again, and only then
replace the handpiece on the skin�
•If any problem persists, contact FSD Plus service through Radiancy or your point of
purchase�
