The apical position indicated by Wirele-X corresponds to file tip position at minor apical
foramen.

The last red bar and warning sound indicate that the file has
passed the apex. (Pic. 7).
To return to the apical position, gently retreat the file until the
last red bar disappears and "0.0" indication returns.
Note: Values shown in the pre-apical and apical zones serve
as a convenient reference to judge the file tip position
in relation to the apex, but they do not represent the
actual distance from the apex in mm.
