Replacing Built-in Electrode If the canal length indicator bars flicker during use, or if all the bars in the meter do not light up when the file touches the contrary electrode, and cleaning the rotor axle and built-in electrode does not solve the problem, then the built-in electrode is worn out and must be replaced with a new one according to the following procedure.
External File Electrode If you use a file that cannot make a measurement with the built-in electrode, replace it with external file electrode (sold sepa- rately). (1) Loosen the screw and remove the built-in electrode. Built-in Electrode Screw (2) Hold down the push button, insert the guide bar and turn it back and forth until it fits into the latch groove.
