“Hey Motor”. The tablet will respond to
“Hey Motor” with an audible beep
indica�ng it is ready to respond to a
command. A visual �mer will also appear
on the tablet screen indica�ng how much
�me the user has le� to give the command
before the tablet returns to sleep mode.
• To change a maximum rpm preset, simply
say, “Hey Motor” followed by “One”, “Two”,
or “Three” depending on the maximum
rpm preset you want.
• To change the motor rota�on direc�on,
simply say, “Hey Motor” followed by either
“Forward” or “Reverse”.
• To turn the a�achment LED light on or
off, simply say, “Hey Motor” followed by
“Light On” or “Light Off”.

General Settings:
Additional motor control settings may be
adjusted by first pressing the Settings (8)
button (Figure 11). These consist of (Figure
12):
-Display sleep: adjusts time of non-use
before tablet display goes into sleep mode.
-Pressure: select to display air pressure in
PSI or BAR.
-Variable Pressure Mode: FULL uses the
entire air pressure range of the foot control
to change motor speed. LIMIT only uses a
portion of the air pressure range. (Full is
recommended.)
-Status LED: Adjusts the brightness of the
motor control box LED status indicator. (See
below for description of Status LED signals).
-Motor LED Brightness: Adjusts the
brightness of the motor LED output and
therefore the attachment light output
brightness.
-Motor LED Fade-in: Adjusts how fast the
light comes on after foot control
depression.
-Motor LED Fade-out: Adjusts how fast the
light goes out after foot control is released.
-Motor LED Time-out: Adjusts how long
the light remains on (delayed shut off) after
motor operation ends.
To return to the main screen, touch the
back arrow at the top left of the screen.
Motor Control Box Status LED Meaning:
The front panel of the motor control box is
equipped with a status LED light with the

Device Maintenance
⚠
Caution
• Wearing of personal protective
equipment (gloves, goggles etc.), should be
complied with by medical personnel using
or performing maintenance of medical
devices that are contaminated or
potentially contaminated.
• Pointed and sharp instruments should be
handled with great caution.
• In the event of prolonged disuse, the
instrument must be stored in a dry
environment.
• Products containing acetone, chlorine
and bleaches are not recommended as
disinfectants. To keep the surfaces of the
hose in good condition, it is advisable to
periodically wipe the complete length of it
with a cloth dusted with talcum powder.
Do not immerse in disinfectant solution.
Do not immerse in ultrasonic bath.
• We recommend that the motor control is
cleaned as directed below before the initial
first use and subsequently after each
treatment.
Cleaning-disinfection Of External Surfaces:
Clean and disinfect the external surfaces of
the Perceptive motor control unit, tablet,
and hose by gently rubbing for about 15
seconds with a clean cloth soaked in
Isopropyl alcohol.
General Precau�ons
⚠
USA Caution: Federal law restricts this
device to sale by or on the order of a
Dentist.
Other Precautions for Use:
• The device must be used by a qualified
person in accordance with the current legal
provisions concerning industrial safety,
health and accident prevention measures,
and these working instructions.
In accordance with these requirements,
the operators:
-
Must only use operating devices that are
in perfect working order. In the event of
irregular functioning, excessive vibration,
abnormal heating or other signs indicating
malfunction of the device, the work must
be stopped immediately; in this case,
contact Lares Research for repair.
-Must ensure that the device is used only
for the purpose for which it is intended,
must protect themselves, their patients
and third parties from any danger, and
must avoid contamination through the use
of the product.
-Rest the device on a suitable support to
avoid risks of infection for yourself, the
patient or third parties.
-Excess material from products used for
maintenance (lubricants, cleaning products
and disinfectants) originating from the
attachments may penetrate into the
electric motor and interfere with its
functioning. It is essential to follow the
maintenance instructions accompanying
each product. Never lubricate the electric
motor.
Recommendations:
• It is essential to use dry, purified
compressed air to ensure the long working
life of the device. Maintain the quality of
the air and water by regular maintenance
of the compressor and filtration systems.
The use of unfiltered hard water will lead
to early blockage of the tubes, connectors,
and spray ports.
• The device must not be used in the
presence of open lesions, injury to soft
tissue or recent extractions. The exhaust air
could propel infected material into the
wounds and cause infections and risk
embolism.
• The device is intended for medical
treatment only; any use other than that for
which this product is intended is
unauthorized and may be dangerous. The
medical device meets all the current legal
requirements.
Warranty and Service
Warranty:
Each Percep�ve motor control box, power
supply and supply hose is warranted
against defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of 2 years from
the date of purchase.
Addi�onal Condi�ons of Warranty:
1. Warranty registra�on is automa�c as of
shipping date (Outside the US warranty
registra�on may be required).

maintained in accordance with procedures
outlined in these instruc�ons.
3. The product must not be subjected to
abuse and/or neglect.
4. The product must not be repaired or
disassembled by anyone other than Lares
Research or your authorized Lares
distributor.
Lares Research will repair or replace at its
discre�on without charge, any defec�ve
parts covered by this warranty provided
the Percep�ve motor control box, power
supply and supply hose is returned to the
factory, transporta�on prepaid. (Outside
the US return to your authorized Lares
distributor.) Lares Research makes no other
warran�es expressed or implied.
Servicing:
Never disassemble the device. For any
modifica�on or repair, we recommend that
you contact your Lares account manager

Transporta�on, Storage & Disposal
Transport and Storage Condi�ons:
Temperature between -25˚C (-13˚F) and
70˚C (158˚F), rela�ve humidity between
20% and 80%, atmospheric pressure 500
hPa to 1060 hPa (7.25 to 15.37 psi).
Do not store the motor with a contra angle
a�ached for extended periods of �me.
Disposal:
This device must be recycled. Electrical and
electronic equipment may contain
dangerous substances which cons�tute
health and environmental hazards. The
user must return the device to an approved
body for treatment and recovery of this
type of equipment (European Direc�ve
2002/96/EC).
Troubleshoo�ng
Motor Error:
When an error is detected on one of the
motor phases, an error tone (three long
beeps) will sound once on the tablet, and
the icon above will keep blinking as long as
the drive is ac�vated by air pressure. To
reset the error, release the pressure to
deac�vate the drive and ensure
connec�vity of the motor.
Temperature Warning:
A motor overheat protec�on system is in
place. This will trigger:
a) If average current over a long period of
time exceeds 600mA, motor torque will be
slowly limited until the average current falls
below 600mA.
b) If peak current exceeds 2500mA, motor
torque will be quickly limited until peak
current drops below 2500mA.
This issue is commonly caused by a faulty
attachment (contra-angle, etc). If the issue
ony exists with the attachment on the
motor, it is likely time to have that
attachment repaired. Contact Lares
Research with any questions.
When any of the above conditions occur,
the icon above will blink on the tablet, and
a warning signal (three short beeps) will
sound. The warning signal will keep
repeating until the unit has exited the
overheat condition.
