If the message "Connect handpiece" is displayed on the
screen, this means that the handpiece is not connected or
is not recognized by the machine.
Preparation and test ("Priming")
The message "Please, prime" indicates that the "Priming"
preparation and test procedure must be carried out. Press
the "Prime" button (prepare) to start the procedure; the
connection and correct operation of the
irrigation/aspiration tubings are checked and these are
completely filled with balanced saline solution.
Irrigation/aspiration preparation and testing can be skipped
under certain conditions, e.g. when the handpiece or the
tip is to be replaced after successfully passing the priming.
To skip the irrigation/aspiration preparation and test
procedure, press the footswitch past zone C: A pop-up
window opens and you are asked if you really want to skip
the preparation procedure.
