Alignment
Align the instrument whenever the software is started.
Alignment is necessary to check the horizontal (ML) and vertical (DV) planes are perpendicular.
To align the instrument the rotation and tilt must be set so the scales read zero. The alignment kit is installed
onto the instrument, with the dial indicator positioned where the probe would normally be. Then the dial
indicator is moved across and up the T bar, mounted in the ear bar slots. If the dial indicator reading remains
unchanged then the instrument is aligned and ready for surgical use. However, if the dial indicator reading
changes, then the instrument is not aligned and the rotation or tilt must be adjusted.
If you are unable to align the instrument contact Leica Microsystems.
