Endodontic Mode Operations
Endodontic Mode (ENDO) allows the user to regulate/change the motor speed, torque, operational direction,
and auto reversing or stop options of the handpiece system. The combination of the torque and Torque-Stop
Mode options in Endodontic Mode allows the user to designate the motor torque limits and direct the motor
into auto reverse once the specified torque limit is reached.
The Midwest

E provides 4 default Memory Settings for ratio, speed, torque, and direction (for details see the
default values’ table for ratio, speed, and torque in Table 3 below).
To individually change these settings simply "overwrite" them as described below. This allows one to compile
their own preferences to fit their option needs.
NOTE:
In Endodontic Mode, the light source is set to "ON" for all presets.
