') Place file in holder and connect lip clip to patient’s lip.

more rapid, the file is nearing a constriction. Continue advancing slowly until meter’s tooth symbol begins
flashing, signifying the file has reached a constriction.

apex. Very delicately continue advancing until the word "APEX" appears on the mefer and the red arrow to
right begins flashing. The file tip is now beyond the apex.
Carefully retract the file counterclockwise until the meter returns to the green bar area, and the tooth symb
begins flashing again. Now the file is at the apical constriction.
