Gently insert endodontic file into the root canal and connect the File Clip to the
file (to ensure precise measurements the file size should be adjusted to the
canal diameter).
Alternatively, use the Touch Probe to provide electrical contact with the

The
accompanied by a double beep signal
(Pic. 3).
Absence of first green bar and of audio
signal indicates a faulty connection.
In such case disconnect the Measurement

and start again.
No other adjustments are necessary before
starting measurements.

Apex localization
6.3.1 Apical Zone
Introduce the endodontic file slowly into the canal, file position in the Apical Zone is indicated
by 3 bars: 1.0, 0.5, and 0.0 (Pic. 4, Pic. 5 and Pic. 6).
File progression in the apical zone is accompanied by a series of beeps with variable rate.
When the apical position is reached (orange bar at the mark "0.0"), solid tone is emitted (Pic.
