First Use and Normal Operation

• When using new CR plates, you need to manually erase them twice before
use.
• CR plates and cassettes should only be used with CR equipment.
2387E EN 20180416 1238
CAUTION:
When CR MD4.xT plates and cassettes have not been used for 48
hours, they must be erased manually. When CR MM3.xT plates
and cassettes have not been used for 24 hours, they must be
erased manually.
CAUTION:
Image quality may suffer if a cassette and plate is not scanned
soon after exposure. The Agfa phosphor has excellent dark
decay characteristics. Two hours after exposure, approximately
80% of the energy stored upon exposure is still available. The
image retention is better than 50% up to 24 hours after
irradiation. However, in order to preserve image quality, a
cassette and plate should be scanned no later than 2 hours after
exposure.
