the file is changed to a larger number during root canal treatment or when
another canal should be measured). In such cases the device detects
automatically that the new measurement is initiated, the electrical contact and
conductivity of the root canal are checked again and two beeps are sounded.
Note: The S5 Apex Locator operates completely automatically. No manual
adjustments are required. The S5 Apex Locator enables accurate localization of apical
foramen independently of root canal conditions (dry, wet, with blood, pulp). In case of
very dry canal or previous obturation (retreatment cases) you may use irrigation
solution such as Sodium Hypochlorite, Saline, etc. to provide a conductive electrical
environment.

7.5. Completion of the measurements

7.5.1. Before unplugging the Measurement cable from the device receptacle,
disconnect the lip clip and the file clip from the patient.
7.5.2. Move the file stopper to the selected reference point on the tooth.
7.5.3. Gently remove the file from the canal and measure the apical length between
the stopper and the file tip.
7.5.4. To determine the working length for canal shaping, it is recommended to
subtract 0.5mm from the measured apical length.

7.6. Audio feedback

The S5 Apex Locator is equipped with an audio indicator which is activated in parallel with
progression of the file. This function enables monitoring of the file progression within the
canal in the apical zone even without seeing the display.
The volume can be adjusted to one of the four levels: mute, low, normal and high. The
adjustment is performed by successive pressings of the volume key

7.7. Automatic Shutdown

The S5 Apex Locator automatically shuts off after 5 minutes without use. In order to prolong
the battery life, after completing the measurements, it is recommend switching the device
off by pressing the On/Off key .
