OPERATION (Continued): 1. Press the power switch in the upper right hand corner of the unit. The power indictor will turn red and yellow during self- test. Successful completion of self-test is signified with a quick sequence of light illumination on the front panel and an audible indication if sound is turned on.
OPERATION (Continued): 11.DETECTING POST PERFORATION: Connect the file clip to a large file and make contact with the post. In the case of post perforation, the Endopex V will indicate a perforation illuminating the red L.E.D. at the bottom of the indication col- umn accompanied by a solid audio tone if sound is active.
CAUTIONS (Continued): including the connection to the unit. A poor connection can prevent accurate measurements. 7. Always take an x-ray to confirm the results. 8. Do not clean the main unit with Gluteraldhyde, Ethanol, or similar chemicals to avoid discoloration and surface corro- sion of the unit.
