any time by inserting the charger plug into the
charging socket of the handpiece (see the section
"Battery Power Level Display on Handpiece").
Before using the handpiece for the first time, connect
it to the charger for a period of about 2 hours so that
the new battery is completely charged for the first
time.
The green status light on the handpiece blinks while
the battery is charging. The green status light glows
steadily when the device is fully charged. As a safety
precaution, light-curing is not possible while the
device is charging.

material when selecting the exposure time.
The indicated exposure times assume that the light
guide is held at the exact position over the material
being polymerized.
If the distance between the light guide and the
restoration is increased, the exposure time must be
adjusted accordingly because the light intensity
weakens (see graph).
