Abridged Laser In-service instructions

The Operator's Manual that accompanied the Luxar NovaPulse medical laser was long and drawn out. Many users were daunted and reluctant to use it.

My first job was to reduce the number of words in the in-service introductory sections and replace them with images and more concise instructions. The Operator's Manual was still referenced, but that had also been abridged for the convenience of the end user.

The mission was to get the reader from unpacking to hands-on testing as quickly as possible so the laser could be put into service in the doctor's office at the earliest possible time.
