You can configure the settings in this Setup menu:
For example, you can set different sounds and the
volume.
Caution:
If you allow the file to touch the lip clip, this will cause a short circuit. With this short circuit
you can test the correct operation of the display and apex locator.

Tips for length determination
Place the cap (4c) on the lip clip’s socket before use; the cap protects the socket from
contamination.
The lip clip (4b) is hung in the patient's cheek pouch on the opposite side of the tooth to be
treated.
Remove the lip clip from the patient's mouth if you do not need the measurement (especially
if you use other functions such as ultrasound or BackFill or DownPack).
Before you start the length determination, the canal should be rinsed briefly with physiological
saline solution. The canal input must then be dried (e.g. with a cotton pellet) to avoid leakage
current and, as a consequence, incorrect measurements. Protective gloves should be worn
during the length determination so that the measuring current has no power dissipation. For
the manual measurement, the file is connected to the file clamp below the shaft and slowly
inserted into the root canal.
The file is automatically connected using the contra-angle for the integrated length
determination during preparation. Here, the file clamp is not required.
Please keep in mind that incorrect measurements due to disturbances (conductive residual
fillings, cracks, etc.) may occur during the electronic length determination as a matter of
principle.
Chemicals in the canal can influence the measurement due to different conductivity. The ideal
measuring medium is physiological saline solution.
The results should always be compared with an X-ray control image.
