- Note: the new battery attains full capacity only
after several charging/discharging cycles. There-
fore, the battery charge may initially be sufficient
for a smaller number of exposures.

Handpiece/Battery Care

Do not use any other chargers as this may damage
the battery!
Do not immerse the battery in water or incinerate!
Please also observe Point 5 in the chapter on
"Safety".

Cleaning the Light Guide

The light guide can be autoclaved. Do not sterilize by
chemical means or hot-air!
The light guide should be regularly wiped clean
with a soft cloth. Especially before and after steam
sterilization. The spots of dried liquid should be wiped
off the ends of the device.
Adhering polymerized composite should be removed
with alcohol, a plastic spatula may help in removing
the material.
- Do not use any sharp or pointed tools to protect
the surface of the device from scratching.
The protecting glass in the light guide mounting hole
can be cleaned with a dry cotton bud.
Clean Charger, Handpiece, Table Holder,

and Glare Shield

To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant
on a towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do not
spray the disinfectant directly on the handpiece or
the charger.
- Disinfection agents must not enter the device!
- We recommend Pursept-A (Merz), FD 322 (Dürr),
GC Spray-Cide (GC America Inc.) and MaxiSpray
(HENRY SCHEIN) for disinfection.
Dry residual disinfectants on the charger, the hand-
piece and the glare shield with a soft and fluff-free
cloth, as they damage the plastic components.
Clean the charger, the handpiece and the glare
shield with a soft cloth and, if required, a mild
cleaning agent.
- Solvents, abrasive cleaners, or other disinfectants
than those recommended may not be used in any
case, as they damage the plastic components!
- Cleaning agents must not enter the devices!
Make sure that charge contact pins remain dry and
are not contacted by metallic or greasy parts. Do not
bend the charge contacts during drying. Wet charge
contacts will cause an operating error (ongoing beeps
and flashing yellow LED).

Storage of the Handpiece during
Extended Periods of Non-Use
If the handpiece is not to be used for an extended
period of time - e.g. during vacation - fully charge
the battery prior to departure or keep the handpiece
inserted in the operational charger.
- Otherwise, nearly discharged batteries may
become excessively discharged due to the low
degree of power consumption ongoing even
in Power Down mode. This may damage the
battery.
Discharged or nearly discharged batteries must be
recharged as soon as possible.
Disposal
As a means of protection of the environment, your new
device is equipped with a Nickel-metal hydride battery.
This kind of battery is free from toxic heavy metal ions.
Dispose of defective batteries and units in accordance
with local legal regulations!
