Introduction
This section is designed to help isolate problems to the module level only. Problems on circuit boards or
the laser tube are outside the scope of this guide because they are not user-serviceable assemblies; do not
attempt to repair them. Contact SYNRAD or a SYNRAD Authorized Distributor for repair or replace-
ment information.
To troubleshoot Firestar i401 lasers, it is necessary to understand the sequence of events that must happen
before the laser can operate. Before attempting any service, we advise you to read the entire troubleshoot-
ing guide and review both the operational flowchart and the functional block diagram.
Danger

injury
This Class 4 laser product emits
invisible infrared laser radiation in

2
wavelength band. Direct or diffuse laser radiation
can inflict severe corneal injuries and can seriously burn human or
animal tissue.
Service personnel troubleshooting Firestar lasers must be thoroughly
trained in laser safety practices and electronic service techniques
before attempting repairs.
Caution

equipment
damage
Attempting repair of a SYNRAD Firestar laser without the express
authorization of SYNRAD, Inc. will void the product warranty.
If troubleshooting or service assistance is required, please contact
