in a row, they will be followed by a beeping sound and the Display will present one or two ISQ
values. If there is much electromagnetic interference noise present, the instrument might not be able
to measure. Instead it will emit an audible signal. If this is the case, try to remove the source of the
electromagnetic interference.
Note: Start by measuring in the mesio-distal direction (along the jaw-line). Then try to measure
a value also in the bucco-lingual direction (perpendicular to the jaw-line). If it is not possible to get
a reading in exactly the bucco-lingual direction, try to measure in a slightly different rotational angle.
Viewing Measurements
A measurement consists of the following data:
• The ISQ value
• Signal strength information
• Time and date of measurement
To view all data connected to the measurement, see set-up Mode/ Functions. The cell position of the
viewed measurement is showed in the upper right corner of the display. Change row and column with
the arrow keys. If the cell is empty, no measurement data is displayed. The Q-value is the strength of
the signal. The lowest allowed value is 1.
Memory and Saving data
The instrument memory consists of a spreadsheet, with rows 1-20 and columns A-T. One cell can be
viewed at a time. The viewed cell position is displayed in the upper right corner of the display (e.g.
A1 to T20). The data for each measurement is stored in a cell in the spreadsheet. The Set-up Menu
provides three methods for the storage of data:
Method 1 (default method): The data is stored in the first empty cell found
after the displayed cell, moving first by row, then by column. If no empty cell is
found at all, measurements have to be erased from memory.
Method 2: The ISQ is stored in viewed cell, regardless if it is empty or not.
Method 3: The ISQ is stored in the next row in the same column as the viewed
cell, regardless if it is empty or not.
Set-up Mode/Functions
To use the Set-up Mode, press the "centre" key. Menu selections are performed by highlighting the
row with the arrow up/down keys and pressing the "centre" key. The following table explains the
menu entries (They might differ dependent on Firmware version).
