If the light intensity is below 80% (fewer than 4 LEDs
are ON), check the light guide for contamination or
defects.
Proceed as follows:
- 1. Clean the light guide if contaminated; please
refer to the section on "Care", or
- 2. replace the light guide if defective, or
- 3. if 1. and 2. fail to improve the situation, please
contact 3M ESPE Customer Service or your
retailer.
Low Battery Charge Display
After frequent use the battery charge of the device may
drop to below approximately 10%, so that only a few
more exposures can be performed without re-charging.
Low battery charge is shown by several means:
- A short audible alarm is emitted 5x at the
completion of an exposure, and repeated
thereafter whenever any button is touched.
- The 5-second-LED of the handpiece begins to
flash.
The handpiece should be placed in the charger as
soon as possible to re-charge the battery.
Power-Down Mode
Once the handpiece is placed in the charger, all internal
functions and LEDs are automatically turned off as the
handpiece switches to power-down mode. This reduces
the power consumption of the rechargeable battery to
a minimal level. Outside the charger, the handpiece is
also switched to power-down mode if left unused for
approximately 10 minutes.
To terminate the power-down mode press one of
the two buttons.
- The power-down termination signal (two short
audible signals) is emitted indicating that the

and time settings.
Acoustical Signals - Handpiece
An acoustical signal is emitted
• every time a button is pressed,
• every time the light is turned ON or OFF,
• after 5 seconds of exposure time have elapsed
(1 alarm signal), 2x after 10 seconds, 3x after
15 seconds.
Two acoustical signals are emitted
• every time the power-down mode is terminated by
pressing any of the buttons.
A 2-second-error signal is emitted, if
• the temperature control is activated,
• the rechargeable battery is discharged to an extent
that reliable polymerization is no longer ensured.
Acoustical Signals - Charger
Ongoing beeps are emitted when the handpiece is in
the charger and the charge contacts are wet.
