General instructions for use
6.5.3.2 First exposure (Closed mouth)
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 the Figure 1 and Figure 2).
NOTE:
If deemed necessary it is possible to check the interference of the rotation
movement with the shoulder of the patient by activating the Test
function, pressing key "8" .
In this condition, it will be possible to make the unit perform all the
movements made during the examination without emitting X-rays. The
test function of the TMJ open/closed mouth is the same as for panoramic
mode and so there will not be a second rotation corresponding to the
open mouth exam.
Once the cycle has been completed, deactivate the "Test" function and
press key "8" again.
1. Check once again that the exposure data are correct, if not, correct
them as described in paragraph 6.5.2.2. Check that the unit ready
for X-ray light "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 signal sounds. The following
message will be displayed first:
E X A M
P R E - H E A T I N G
and then (after 2 seconds), the following message will be displayed:
> X - R A Y <
x x k V x x m A x . x x s
x = the value defined by the settings
NOTE:
If there is no cassette, the following message will be displayed:
> S T A R T E X A M <
I N S E R T C A S S E T T E
The examination will not be continued until the cassette has been
inserted.
