Perform femur registration by acquiring:• Femoral head center• Femoral mechanical axis• Rotational references

NOTE: Pressing the Clip-On Remote Control for a long time repeats entire registration.

• Check the displayed information and if required, adjust the femoral cutting block’s position and/or orientation.

• Repeat registration.

• Place the pointer on the distal condyles to measure the distance to the cutting slot as an indicator for the resection height.
