Check the ultrasonic handpiece for damage before use and especially after each disinfection
and sterilization. If there is any evidence of cracks, do not use the ultrasonic handpiece again.
There is a risk of electric shock.
Use a cofferdam with each treatment. This prevents the inhalation or ingestion of small parts.
Do not leave the device unattended. Ensure that the foot switch is not pressed unintentionally.

Setting the ultrasonic power output*
You can freely set the level of intensity on the touch display. Care must be taken to choose
an appropriate level of intensity. Always choose a small power output at the beginning of the
application and then increase it to the required power level. Do not activate instruments if
they are still in the air (without contact with the tooth). The ultrasonic device is intended for
intermittent (interrupted) operation. During operation, the handpieces axis can reach a
temperature of up to 50°C. Physiological effects are not to be expected.
To keep heating to a minimum, operation should be limited to 1 minute at maximum power
and to 4 minutes at minimum power.
Ensure adequate cooling times:
1 minute operation at maximum power, 3 minutes cooling time.
4 minutes operation at minimum power, 6 minutes cooling time
The instrument’s working end may also heat up due to friction. Ensure adequate cooling of
the treatment site.
6.3.
Ultrasonic instrument selection*
Use the instrument button to select one of the many ultrasonic
instruments. The corresponding power output settings are already
pre-programmed.
The instrument selection is saved and is retained, even if the ultrasonic
extension module is switched off. The respective instrument is displayed
in the upper right corner.
6.4.
Setting the run time*
Rinsing liquids, as for example EDTA, often require pre-set exposure
times.
Setting the run time allows defined activation times to be adhered to.
You can independently set the run time for the ultrasonic extension from
1 second to 90 seconds. After the countdown, it stops automatically
with an acoustic signal!
Always ensure adequate cooling times (see above)
