Connect the Components
a)
Connect lip hook and file clip
b)
Connect file
c)
Connect test wire A
CAUTION:
•
When clipping the file clip onto the metal part of a file or reamer, clip the
file clip onto the metal shaft near the handle. Do not clip it onto the
cutting part or transition part of the file or reamer. This will cause the file
clip to wear out very quickly.
•
Do not bang or bump the plugs when they are inserted.
•
Make sure the plug is all the way in. Otherwise canal measurements
cannot be made.
•
Do not wind the probe cord around the device.
NOTE:
To measure a root canal, use a file or reamer with a plastic handle. If you
do not wear gloves, do not use a file with a metal handle. Current leakage
from a metal handle to your fingers will prevent an accurate measurement.
Do not use damaged or worn file clip, otherwise accurate measurements
cannot be made.
