Starting the DR Detector

For using the fixed DR Detector, the temperature difference between
calibration and usage must be within the recommended range of +/-6°C (for
a DR Detector with CsI conversion screen) or +/-10°C (for a DR Detector with
GOS conversion screen). Check the environmental conditions and observe the
warming-up time of the DR Detector.

2. Attach the battery.

CAUTION:
Do not use the battery pack as a power source for equipment
other than DR 10s or DR 14s detectors. Be sure to use only the
dedicated battery pack for the DR 10s or DR 14s detector.
Note: Before operating the detector, start up the NX workstation.
Note: The battery slowly discharges even if not in use. The
battery pack may have expired if it discharges immediately
after being fully charged. You can purchase an optional battery
pack to replace an exhausted one.
Note: Make sure that the lock lever is placed to the (unlock)
side.
