InialSetup
Before your diagnosc unit is used for the rst me, enter your desired
sengs. These may be readjusted at any me.
1. Acvate the unit by pressing the buon. Once acvated, the LCD
segments will ash and return to the mode last used.
2. Press and hold the buon for 1 second placing the unit in
volume adjustment mode as indicated by the ashing icon. Use the
buons to adjust the volume.
3. Momentarily pressing the buon again places you in sound
adjustment mode. Adjust to the desired mode using the buons.
A chart laying out each sound mode follows this secon.
4. Pressing the buon again allows you to adjust the Satellite
Display brightness as indicated by the ashing number in the display’s
upper right corner. Use the buons to adjust the brightness level.
Note: Level “0” turns the Satellite Display o.
5. The setup feature will meout aer ve seconds of inacvity and the
unit is ready for use.

Satellite Display
Note:TheSatelliteDisplayisnotautoclavable
A revoluonary Satellite Display is included with your diagnosc unit
which gives a quick indicaon of the distance to the apex in AL mode
and output level in VS mode. Use the strap provided to aach your
Satellite Display to a chair, paent bib or microscope for ergonomic
monitoring of status.
Power Symbols
When the unit receives power from a wall outlet or the Elements Bus
Connector, the symbol appears in the lower right corner of its display.
When running on baery power, the symbol appears. The diagnosc
unit uses a rechargeable baery pack and can be used while charging.
As baery strength is depleted, segments of the baery meter indicate
remaining capacity. When the last segment of the baery meter begins
to blink, recharge the unit immediately by plugging it into a wall outlet.
Failure to do so can result in inaccurate readings. To maximize life, the
baery pack should be fully discharged before each recharge. Should
the baery pack require replacement, use only the pack expressly
for this unit from SybronEndo (973-0305). There are no other user
serviceable items within the unit.
ApexLocatorMode
NumericDisplay
The Numeric Display shows distance to the apical foramen from
+3.0 mm to – 0.5 mm in 0.1 mm increments. Please contact your
sales representave for informaon regarding the accuracy of the
measurement. Beyond 1.5 mm from the foramen, readings are less
reliable. When a le reaches the apical foramen, the numeric display
will read “0.0”. If the le has gone past the foramen, the display exhibits
a negave number down to “-0.5.”
GraphicDisplay
The display imitates your le moving toward the apex while its depth is
indicated on the bar to the right. Upon coronal movement of the le,
a remains for 15 seconds at the greatest depth reached near the
apex. Upon reaching the apical foramen, the hollow le solidies and
the black “Apex” bar appears. If the le goes beyond the foramen, this
bar will blink. The le should then be withdrawn approximately 0.5mm
to reach the constricture. Segments of the symbol will indicate you
are nearing the correct posion. Upon reaching the constricture, the
segments of the constricture symbol will ash.
Satellite Display
The Satellite Display mirrors the Graphic Display. LED lights illuminate as
the le progresses within the canal. Each segment represents 0.2mm.
For example, when a le progresses from 0.4mm (from the apical
foramen) to 0.3mm, the representave LED will illuminate dimly and
then brightly upon reaching 0.2mm. When the foramen is encountered,
the boom green LED mimicking the “Apex” bar on the Graphic display
will acvate. If the le goes past the apical foramen, the LED’s at the top
and boom of the satellite will ash alternately.
Aer reaching the foramen, the le is withdrawn 0.5mm to the
constricture whereupon the representave segment turns green.
ApexLocatorDireconsForUse
NOTE: The Apex Locator should be used only as an adjunct to normal
endodonc procedures. While the unit can reduce the number of
radiographs necessary, an inial radiograph must be taken to esmate
working length. Clinical judgment, including knowledge of root canal
anatomy, is paramount when interpreng results.
1. Grasping the Satellite Cord plug by its knurled secon, line up the
red dots and gently push it into its receptacle at the front of the
unit. The cord may only be plugged in or removed by pulling the
knurled secon of the plug.
2. Place the Paent Lead Cord connector into the Satellite Cord
receptacle.
3. Insert either the Bifurcated Probe or File Clip into the Paent Lead
Cord receptacle.
4. Power the unit by depressing the buon.
5. Ensure the unit reads “apex” in the upper right hand corner
conrming the unit is in Apex Locator mode. If not, press the buon
to do so.
6. Place the lip clip on the paent’s lip. Direct contact between the
mucosa and the lip clip must be made for proper funcon.
7. Ensure the unit is funconing properly by touching the Probe p to
the gingiva. You should noce a change in the display.
8. Touch the Bifurcated Probe or connect the File Clip to an
endodonc le that is in the canal.
9. Upon contact, the Numeric Display and small bar underneath it will
appear unl contact is broken.
10. Work the le apically unl the Numeric Display reads “0.0”, the
Graphical Display exhibits a solid le, and the black “apex” bar
appears. Note: The unit is sensive and responds to minute changes
in le posion.
11. Pull back approximately 0.5mm to reach the constricture. As you do
so, segments of the will appear. The complete symbol will ash
at the constricture.
12. Set the desired working length by adjusng the posion of the le
stop.
13. When contact is broken, the Numeric Display will show two dashes
and the le icon will disappear.
ApexLocatorTroubleshoong
To correct errac measurements:
• Ensure the lip clip fully contacts the paent’s mucosa.
• Check all connecons.
• Verify the unit turns on automacally when a circuit is completed.
Dry the canal with a paper point to increase accuracy when:
• Excessive conducve uids form a conducve bridge between
canals or with a metallic restoraon or crown.
