NOTE:
When key "8"
is pressed, the Test function will be activated. In
this condition, it will be possible to make the unit perform all the
movements made during the examination without emitting X-rays.
Once the cycle has been completed, deactivate the "Test" by pressing key
"8" again
WARNING:
During the emission of X-rays, the protection procedures for the operator
and personnel in the area must be in compliance with the local
regulations.
In all cases, it is recommended that during the emission of X-rays, only
the patient and operator be present in the room. If the operator is not
protected by suitable screens, he must stand at least 1.5 meters away
from the emission of the X-rays (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

them as described in paragraph 6.4.2.2. Check that light unit ready
for X-ray "1" is ON, then press X-ray button "30" for the entire
duration of the exposure, ensuring that the X-ray light "2" is also lit
(if the unit is in view) and that the X-ray acoustic signal sounds. The
