   - Switch OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION to DISABLE.   - Switch OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION to DISABLE.
   - Switch the control mode to GVM.   - Switch the control mode to GVM.
-  - Slowly turn the CONTROL GAIN to zero while watching the grid voltage. ​ If the grid voltage rises above 10 volts, reduce the CHARGING VOLTAGE to keep the grid voltage less than 10 volts, then continue reducing the CONTROL GAIN to zero. +  - Slowly turn the CONTROL GAIN to zero while watching the grid voltage. ​ If the grid voltage rises above -5 volts, reduce the CHARGING VOLTAGE to keep the grid voltage less than -5 volts, then continue reducing the CONTROL GAIN to zero. 
-  - To go to a higher energy move the CORONA PROBE POSITION "​OUT"​ while raising the CHARGING VOLTAGE. ​ **__NEVER__** allow the GRID VOLTAGE to go more negative than -10 VDC during this operation. +  - To go to a higher energy move the CORONA PROBE POSITION "​OUT"​ while raising the CHARGING VOLTAGE. ​ **__NEVER__** allow the GRID VOLTAGE to go more negative than -VDC during this operation. 
-  - To go to a lower energy move the CORONA PROBE POSITION "​IN"​ while lowering the CHARGING VOLTAGE. ​ **__NEVER__** allow the GRID VOLTAGE to go more negative than -10 VDC during this operation.+  - To go to a lower energy move the CORONA PROBE POSITION "​IN"​ while lowering the CHARGING VOLTAGE. ​ **__NEVER__** allow the GRID VOLTAGE to go more negative than -VDC during this operation.
   - Set the TERMINAL VOLTAGE Dial to the desired value. The dial is 2 turns per MV (set the dial to twice the GVM you want). You may have to add some upcharge after setting the dial.   - Set the TERMINAL VOLTAGE Dial to the desired value. The dial is 2 turns per MV (set the dial to twice the GVM you want). You may have to add some upcharge after setting the dial.
   - Raise the CONTROL GAIN to 2-3 for low current beams, around 5 for high current beams. The system is now controlling in GVM mode.   - Raise the CONTROL GAIN to 2-3 for low current beams, around 5 for high current beams. The system is now controlling in GVM mode.
