Preoperational checks
• The disposable prophy angle and handpiece sleeve are disposable items intended
for a single patient use only. Do not use the same prophy angle or handpiece sleeve
for more than one patient. Handle the used disposable prophy angle and handpiece
sleeve as contaminated patient care items. Dispose of these items according to
your specific state and local medical waste regulations.
• Make sure to install a new single-use handpiece sleeve before every use to prevent
contamination of the handpiece motor.
• Do not insert the plug into any outlet other than the one for commercial power
supply.
• Turn off the handpiece motor before charging.
• The standard charging time is Approx. 90 minutes. This may vary depending on
the battery condition, age, temperature and other factors. With older batteries the
charging time and operating time may become significantly shorter.
• Only use the supplied AC adapter.
• Gently place the handpiece motor into the stand. A strong impact may cause
handpiece failure.
• When placing the handpiece motor into the stand pay attention to the insertion
direction. Excessive force is not required and it may cause damage to the
handpiece. The handpiece may also be damaged if dropped.
• Remove the handpiece sleeve from the handpiece motor before placing it on the
battery charger.
• The handpiece battery charging stand is exclusively for the iStar handpiece motor.
Never use the stand for any other purpose.
• The battery will get warm during charging, but this is not a failure. Inserting or
removing the plug at short intervals (approx. 5 minutes) may generate heat and
interfere with charging. Charge the handpiece for at least 10 minutes.
• If not used for a long period charge the battery prior to use. If not charged
periodically the battery will become fully discharged and will not charge properly. If
this occurs contact your authorized StarDental dealer to purchase a new battery.
Before use operate the product outside the patient's mouth and check that the disposable handpiece
head rotates properly. If abnormal vibration, noise or overheating is detected during testing or use
immediately stop use and contact your Authorized StarDental Dealer.
