Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, , objects and people. a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the model EDGEAPEX HP is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the model EDGEAPEX HP should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the model EDGEAPEX HP. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

EdgeApex HP statement regarding reciprocating function:
This EdgeApex HP features a new ATR mode that enables torque-based
reciprocation. If the file torque is less than the set trigger torque value,
the file will keep rotating in the cutting direction. When the file torque is
more than the set trigger torque value, the file will automatically
reciprocate in the non-cutting and cutting directions repeatedly at the set
angles. Furthermore, ATR Mode can operate files for which the cutting direc-
tion is counterclockwise [EdgeOne Fire] as well as normal files for which the
cutting direction is clockwise. (The cutting direction of the file is
designated in the name of the ATR mode i.e. CW-ATR/CCW-ATR.)
The EdgeApex HP comes pre-programmed with 5 preset systems:
- EdgeFile X7 Basic
- EdgeFile X7 Advanced
