Note: The handpiece and footpedal must be charged prior to first use. Charge the handpiece and foot pedal for at least 90 minutes.
PRECAUTION: Use only a Midwest RDH Freedom power supply. Failure to do so could cause your system to malfunction and may void your warranty. Connect to single
phase AC power 100-240V power only. Otherwise, malfunction will occur. Do not unplug the power supply by pulling on the cord.

Instructions
for Use
Power supply
connector
1. Insert the power supply connector into the charging base as shown.
2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet. The green power-on indicator on the back of the charging base illuminates when the charging base is successfully
connected.
3. Place the inner module or handpiece on the charging base, aligning the charging contacts on each.
4. Refer to the figure and table below to determine the charging progress of the inner module.
5. If necessary, the handpiece may be “quick charged” for a single use in 15 minutes. The handpiece should be recharged after each full day’s use.
NOTE: Follow this procedure when: the foot pedal or handpiece inner module is replaced for any reason or the handpiece and foot pedal do not seem to be communicating properly.
1. Place the foot pedal within 10 feet of the charging base.
2. Invert the foot pedal and remove the screw and the access door.
3. Remove the inner module from the outer sheath of the handpiece.
4. Place the inner module on the charging base, ensuring that the three indicator lights are scrolling or all are solid green.
5. Invert the inner module and place it on the charging base as shown. The LED shown below will blink green if the position
is correct for synchronization.
6. When the indicator lights display a scrolling green and orange pattern, press the red button in the bottom compartment of
the foot pedal within 15 seconds.
NOTE: The LED beside the synchronization switch of the foot pedal flashes orange to indicate that the foot pedal is in synchronization mode.
7. If the synchronization was successful, the three indicator lights on the handpiece and the LED in the foot pedal will flash
green several times.
8. If all three handpiece indicator lights, and the footpedal LED flash orange, the syncing was unsuccessful. Return the inner
module to an upright position in the charging base and repeat the procedure.
1. Insert the power supply connector into the foot pedal as shown.
2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
3. The foot pedal may be operated while charging. The foot pedal should be recharged monthly.
Note: The middle LED light on the inner module denotes the degree of the charge in the foot pedal battery. A solid green light means greater
than 30%. A solid orange light means less than 30%. To use this feature with a new foot pedal, you must synchronize the foot pedal to the inner
module after 15 minutes of charging (refer to the Synchronization Instructions) and then complete the charging process.
Sleep Mode: After one week of non-use, both the handpiece and the foot pedal enter an enhanced battery-saving mode. Place the handpiece inner module into an energized charging
base for 5 seconds to restore normal functions. Connect the foot pedal to the power supply for 5 seconds to restore normal functions.
