3. For the best results, cover both sides of the filled opening
with a clear plastic matrix strip to eliminate the air
inhibited layer common with resin curing.
4. Cure the material, from the top, for a chosen length of
time.
5. After removing any clear matrix, check the hardness
of the cured composite from the bottom by scraping
the surface with a tungsten carbide carver or similar
instrument.
6. Inspect this cured surface. Ideally, it should resist
indentation and there should be no soft material that can
be removed by the instrument.
7. Repeat the procedure as necessary to determine an
optimum combination of curing time and increment
thickness for the material.
NOTE: Darker shades within a line of composites normally require
additional curing time. Please refer to the material manufacturer's
instructions for use.
NOTE: Light output may vary depending on the light guide used.

Troubleshooting
Please try the following procedures to rectify the common
problems listed below. Contact the manufacturer's customer ser-
vice department for all other problems encountered.
•
If the Shot or Mode button doesn't light up
- Removing the battery pack and reinserting it will reset
the device to its original factory settings. On the base
of the handpiece, remove the two miniature screws
with the enclosed phillips head screw driver provided.
Slide the battery pack out of the handpiece and
reinsert it, replacing the two miniature screws.
- Place the handpiece on the charger base to recharge
until the red light changes to the green illuminated
light indicating a fully charged curing light.
This will resolve a low-power problem.

- Ensure that the power adapter is plugged into the
charger base securely. Ensure that the AC power cord
is plugged into the power adapter and the wall outlet
securely.
•
If the Shot or Mode button lights up but doesn't
work properly
- The curing light may be discharged and needs
recharging.
- Place the handpiece on the charger base to recharge
until the red light changes to the green illuminated
light indicating a fully charged curing light.
- If the curing light does not activate, the unit requires
service. Please contact your supplier or authorized
service center.

If the S.P.E.C. 3
polymerize light-cured materials well
- Ensure that a blue LED light is emitted from the light
guide. Do not look directly into the light output.
- Make sure the light guide is inserted into the opening
on the handpiece completely. Even a slight gap
between the light guide and LED may reduce the
polymerization light output up to 50%.
- Check the light guide for any damage. If the light
guide has an inner crack even though its surface looks
good, it may interrupt proper light emission.
- Check if there's any debris, such as resin residue or
sealant on the tip of the light guide.
- Ensure that appropriate mode and time setting is
selected according to the type of light-cured material
being used.
- Make sure the light cured dental material is stored
according to the manufacturer's suggested storage
and that the date on the material's package has not
expired.
