If this message displays, the unit is at its automatic calibration limit. A service
call is recommended to ensure accurate technique and radiographic results.
Exposures are not inhibited.
This message may appear when attempting to take a high technique
exposure immediately after removing the unit from charge. Exposure is
prevented. Operating the field lamp or driving theDefinium AMX 700 will
assist in stabilizing the battery voltage so that the exposure may be made.
This message may appear when attempting to expose when only a few
segments remain on the battery charge indicator. This means that the battery
does not contain sufficient charge to make an exposure.
Exposure is prevented. Recharging the batteries will eliminate the message
and allow exposures.
The charge process is complete, and the battery is fully recharged.
The unit is allowing usage for a maximum of 60 minutes (keyswitch is ON and
the unit is plugged in).
The unit is charging.
All modes are disabled except drive. Service is required.
No exposures can be taken while this message appears (The length of the
delay will vary with the selected technique). This message displays while the
tube anode is cooling.
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
increase the kVp above125.
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
decrease the kVp below 50.
If the field light is on for over 4 minutes, the light will be automatically turned
off to prevent the collimator from overheating. You may activate the field
light in about 5 minutes.
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
increase the mAs above320 or above the acceptable energy limit for the x-
ray tube anode. The acceptable heat limit is based on the kVp you selected.
Note that the kVp setting will always take precedence over the mAs setting.
That is, if the technique selected would generate too much x-ray tube heat,
the maximum mAs will automatically decrease to permit the selected kVp.
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
decrease the mAs below 0.40.
