8.5 Tap-On Technology Wireless Foot Pedal
Operation
Using Foot Pedal in Tap-On Mode
For scaling procedures,Tap-On Technology eliminates the need
to hold the pedal down. Tapping the foot pedal once activates
ultrasonic power for approximately 4 minutes. Tapping the foot
pedal while in Tap-On mode disables the ultrasonic power and
water flow. Boost is still available while scaling in Tap-On mode. To
use Boost, simply depress the foot pedal to the second position (all
the way to the floor) to activate and hold as long as Boost is desired.
Release foot pedal to return to Tap-On mode.

TIPS:
Tap-On Technology will not run water unless an insert is in
the handpiece
A sensor in the handpiece holder will prevent Tap-On
Technology from operating when the handpiece is in the
holder.
If the foot pedal is not tapped quickly, it will function in a
conventional manner.
How to Enable and Disable Tap-On Technology
The Tap-On Technology feature can be enabled by pressing the
Tap-On icon in the Settings Screen. From the main screen, press
the Settings icon then press the Tap-On icon. The parenthesis lines
around the icon with show as white when Tap-On is activated and
when you return to Scale (Main screen) TAP ON will appear in the top
of the Power Level bubble.
The Tap-On Technology feature can be disabled by pressing the
Tap-On icon in the settings. From Scale (Main Screen) press the
Settings icon then press the Tap-On icon. The icon will show as
grayed out.
Using Foot Pedal without Tap-On Mode
For scaling operation, the first position activates both the ultrasonic
energy and lavage at the insert tip. The second position activates the
Boost Mode. The Boost Mode (fully depressed Foot Pedal) increases
the ultrasonic power level for quick removal of tenacious deposits
without adjusting the power level knob. To deactivate Boost Mode,
release the Foot Pedal to the first position.

Techniques for Use
2nd POSITION
9.1 Handpiece Setup
• This handpiece is sterilizable. Refer to Cavitron Systems Infection
Control Procedure booklet for sterilization instructions prior to
using handpiece.
• Connect the Handpiece to the Cable Assembly by aligning the
electrical connections. If Cable Assembly does not seat into the
handpiece, gently rotate the handpiece until contacts align, then
fully insert handpiece. NOTE: Steri-Mate 360 and Steri-Mate are
compatible with this system.
• Hold empty handpiece in a semi-upright position over a sink or
drain. Activate the Tap-On Foot Pedal until water exits to release
any air bubbles that might be trapped inside the handpiece.
NOTE: Tap-On Technology only operates when an insert is in the
handpiece.
• Lubricate the O-ring on the insert with water before placing it into
the handpiece. Fully seat insert with a gentle push-twist motion.
DO NOT FORCE.
• Turn the Lavage Control to select flow rate during system
operation. Flow rate is placed on a scale from 1 to 6. Turn control
clockwise toward 6 to increase flow at insert tip. Turn control
counter-clockwise toward 1 to decrease flow. The flow rate
through the handpiece also determines the temperature of the
lavage. Lower water flow rates produce warmer lavage. Higher
flow rates produce cooler lavage. If the handpiece becomes warm,
increase the flow rate. With experience the Dental Healthcare
Professional will be able to determine the best flow rate setting for
optimum operating efficiency and patient comfort.
