Cross-scanning
• To improve the precision of implant localization it is possible to
perform additional cross-scanning in Buccal-Lingual direction as
shown schematically on Pic. 11.
• After initial implant localization as shown on Pic. 10d slowly move the
sensor in Buccal-Lingual direction pressing it slightly to the gum. The
operating sequence is similar to the sequence described in § 6.5.3.
Presence of metal crown, abutment, tooth with large amalgam
filling, metallic instrument close to the implant may prevent
correct implant localization or reduce precision.

Localization of multiple implants
In case of multiple implants, after locating and marking the first implant continue
to the estimated position of the next implant.
• Slowly move the sensor along the jaw ridge. The central dot will turn off and
4 segments will turn orange; then the segment will blink green indicating that
the Implant Locator is ready for detection of the next implant.
• Perform implant localization as described in § 6.5.3. and 6.5.4.
Correct localization of implant position may be impossible when 2 or
more implants are too close.

Audio feedback
Implant Locator is equipped with an audio feedback which enables monitoring of
device operation additionally to visual indication. Audio feedback may be disabled
as described in s. 6.4. above.
6.7.
Automatic Shutdown
Implant Locator automatically shuts down after 2 minutes without use. In order to
prolong the battery life, it is recommended to switch off the device after completing
implant localization by pressing the
button and holding it for about 1
sec.
