Sometimes the device meter reading and the x-ray image will not correspond.
This does not mean that device is not working properly or that the x-ray exposure is failure.
* Occasionally, the actual apical foramen does not correspond exactly.
The actual apical foramen may be located up towards the crown. In these case, the x-ray image will
seem to indicate that the file has not reached the apex.
Note
- Do not pull directly on the cords when connecting or disconnecting the probe and
file hook. Always grip the connectors to connect and disconnect cords.
- Do not wrap the probe cord around the body of the main unit.
