Temperature Setback

To preserve tip life and save energy, the ST 40A system can be programmed to
automatically set back its Tip Temperature to 177°C (350°F) after a selected period
of handpiece inactivity (adjustable 5-120 minutes in Set-Up Mode). As received
from the factory, this feature is enabled. Refer to the "Set-Up Mode" section of this
manual to disable or adjust the time-out period of this feature. The operator can also
force the system into Temperature Setback. The Auto Off Safety feature is also
enabled automatically when Temperature Setback is enabled.
If the Set Tip Temperature is less than 177°C (350°F), the system will remain
at the lower temperature in Temperature Setback.

1. AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION - The system memory can be programmed
