When the Loop
handpiece OLED display screen and operation is idle, the battery charge status icon is displayed.
™
When the handpiece is seated on the charging base, the battery charge status icon will show the color that best
represents the battery charge readiness. While charging, the white lightning bolt will slowly blink.
Battery Charge Status:
When the battery charge level drops below 25%, the red battery icon will appear on the Idle screen.
If the battery charge level is too low to complete a requested cure cycle, a battery warning screen
will appear. The cure cycle will not start in this situation. Return to the charging base immediately.
When the battery charge falls below 25%, the red battery-shaped indicator will appear in the bottom
right corner of the screen.
Replacing the Battery
The Loop
battery has been designed to be replaced in the field without requirement for factory re-calibration. A Loop
™
battery replacement kit is available to order. It will include a new battery, star wrench, screw, washer and instructions.
TIMING: The battery should be replaced when any of the following conditions occur:
• The battery frequently drains from a full-charge to a low-battery within typical daily use.
• A 2 hour charge will not produce a green battery status.
Battery replacement instructions:
1. Shutdown the handpiece by simultaneously pressing both the Menu button and Select button and holding for
3 seconds, or until the screen goes black.
2. To remove the plug covering the screw, use a small screwdriver or dental
hand instrument.
3. To remove the screw, use the star wrench provided in the replacement kit.
4. Remove the battery cover (Fig. 1).
5.
Carefully unplug the white battery connector from the white receptacle on the
circuit board and remove the battery by holding the Loop
with one hand and pulling the white battery connector away from the circuit
board with fingers or forceps (Fig. 2). Do not pull on the wires. Do not apply
excessive force or touch the circuitry. Remove the battery from the handpiece.
6. Take the new battery from the replacement kit and carefully plug the battery
connector into the receiving connector on the circuit board. Slide the battery
into the back end of the handpiece below the cross rib (Fig. 3) and rest the
battery down against the housing. Ensure that the wires are not pinched.
7. Ensure that the rubber gasket surrounding the handpiece opening is not
damaged or moved.
8. Replace the battery cover by first aligning the area around the charging
pins (Fig. 4), then lower to align the screw hole, and over the rubber gasket
to cover the unit. Ensure that the sides of the cover are flush and aligned
with the sides of the handpiece.
9. Reattach the battery cover using the new screw and washer supplied in the
replacement kit. Tighten the screw with the star wrench until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.
10. Replace the plug over the screw. Ensure the plug is positioned flush with cover. If the plug does not seat flush
with the cover, use a thin composite instrument or similar tool to insert between the cover and the plug to
release the trapped air beneath the plug.
11. Clean the lens. Refer to Section 5.3 "Cleaning the lens" in the instructions for use.
12. Place the handpiece in the charging base for 4 hours to fully charge the new battery for the first time.
13. Perform a Calibration. Refer to Section 4.4 "Calibration" in the instructions for use.
NOTE: Do not apply any adhesive to the screw or screw cover.
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force or touch the circuitry.
