WARNING:
Do not hit or drop the equipment. If it receives a strong jolt,
image acquisition can be triggered without X-ray exposure.
WARNING:
Very short exposure time can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition. Use an exposure time of at least 5 ms.
WARNING:
Applying collimation to leave only a very small area exposed can
cause failure to trigger the image acquisition.
WARNING:
Very low dose can cause failure to trigger the image acquisition.
A dose of at least 5 nGy is required.
WARNING:
Specific exposure conditions (use of grid, thickness of the
exposed object) can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition or horizontal artifacts in the acquired image.
