Touch functionality
The Connect SW software is touch-compatible. This means that you
can interact directly on screen with your finger.
The application can be operated unconditionally by switching between
touch and using a touchpad or trackball.
A number of functions can only be executed by trackball. If this is the
case, this is indicated in the corresponding sections.
Item Function

E ➢ Drag with 2 fingers.
Ä The model is dragged.
2.5.1.3 Touchpad
A touchpad is installed in the CEREC Primescan AC / Primescan AC /
CEREC Omnicam AC / Omnicam AC acquisition unit as standard. On
the flush-mounted horizontal surface, you can move a mouse cursor
with your finger on the screen. All the usual interactions of a standard
mouse are possible.
2.5.1.4 Trackball
Alternatively, a device model with an integrated trackball can be
ordered. This also enables use of a mouse cursor and represents an
alternative input option for the direct touch operation by finger on the
display.

General information
NOTE
Faulty color analysis
The color analysis can be negatively impacted due to strong light
incidence and it can lead to varying results.
➢ Set the scanner up so that it is not located directly in the beam
path of an extreme light source (e.g., the treatment light) and not
exposed to direct sunlight.
NOTE
Observe color calibration
A color calibration may only be performed at least 20 minutes after
the system start/cleaning.
The color calibration must be performed regularly.
The scanner must be color calibrated every two weeks in order to carry
out a reliable color analysis. You will achieve the best results if the
scanner is color calibrated immediately before scanning a new case.
Carry out a color calibration also after changing a sleeve/mirror sleeve.
Heavily scratched sleeve window may not be used for a color analysis.

CAUTION
Hot surface!
The coated sapphire glass of the scanner, is preheated in the scanner
cradle. When removing the scanner from its holder, the surface
temperature of the mirror sleeve can be up to 51°C. This may cause
an unpleasant heat sensation on contact with a person's skin or
mucous membrane. These temperatures will not damage the skin or
mucosal membrane.
After removing the scanner from the scanner cradle, the temperature
of the mirror sleeve drops within a few minutes (< 5 minutes) to less
than 43°C. The scanner is therefore suitable for use in the patient's
mouth for an unlimited period of time.
At an ambient temperature from 30°C, only select the three lower
heater settings.
NOTE
The firmware update is mandatory for operating the CEREC
Omnicam in conjunction with the Connect SW. When starting phase
ACQUISITION, the firmware must be updated.
The firmware update takes around two minutes.

Important: Ensure that the distance between the coated sapphire glass
of the scanner and the scanned surface is observed.
The distance must be between 0 - 15 mm (ideally: 5 mm). The scanner
does not rest on the teeth or the gums. If the distance is too great, no
data will be obtained.
1. Move the scanner to the starting position. For this purpose, the
scanner is in the occlusal view of the tooth, which is next to the
prepared tooth in the distal direction.
2. Scan in the mesial direction. To do so, move the scanner slowly in
the occlusal direction from the distal-positioned tooth over the
prepared tooth to the mesial-positioned tooth.
With full jaw acquisitions, the scan sequence is different for the
transition to anteriors. Scanning begins with the lingual and labial areas,
before moving on to the incisors.

NOTE
Image brightness
The image brightness during the acquisition is controlled
automatically, so that there is always optimum image brightness,
largely independent of the distance between the scanner and the
tooth.
The surroundings of the tooth to be scanned should be as weakly
illuminated as possible. Avoid any type of external light. Switch off the
operating light.
IMPORTANT
Do not use cotton rolls in the scan area
Do not use any cotton rolls in the vicinity of the scan area, as they can
reduce the precision of the scan and create image interference.
CAUTION
Prevent cross-contamination
Germs can be transmitted to uncontaminated persons via the hands,
materials or objects.
➢ For hygiene reasons, wear a new set of disposable gloves for
each patient while using the scanner.
CAUTION
In the case of patients with allergies to nickel
Should the scanner mirror sleeve make contact with the skin of
patients allergic to nickel, allergic reactions may occur.
➢ Ensure that in the case of patients with nickel allergies, the parts
of the mirror sleeve which may make contact are protected from
areas of skin.

Potentially hazardous optical radiation
The scanner transmits potentially hazardous optical radiation which
may cause harm to the eyes.
➢ During operation, do not look directly at the scanner for long
periods.
IMPORTANT
Potential switch-off procedure
In the case of several repeated scans of the image fields without
model calculation, the scanner can deviate from the calibrated
temperature range. In this case, a warning message appears and you
need to take a scanning break prior to completing the exposures.
Please wait roughly long enough for the remaining exposures to be
performed. The potential switch-off procedure is innocuous for your
scanner and is not a malfunction.
