First Use and Normal Operation

When using new CR detectors or CR plates and cassettes, you need to
manually erase them twice before use.
When CR HD5.x detectors and CR MD4.xR plates and cassettes have not been
used for 48 hours, you equally need to erase them manually.
When CR HM5.x detectors and CR MM3.xR plates and cassettes have not been
used for 24 hours, you equally need to erase them manually.
CR detectors and CR plates and cassettes should only be used with CR
equipment.
The necessary precautions must be taken when handling the plates to avoid
scratches or damage. Any damage to the plates, of whatever nature, will be
visible in the image.
Cassette and plate must not be dropped as this might damage the cassette and
plate. It is good practice to check the integrity of the cassette and plate after a
cassette drop.

Handling the AGFA CR Detectors, Plates and Cassettes | 43
Observe great care when handling the detectors. The
needle detector is shock sensitive and drops should be
avoided. When the detector has been dropped, put it
aside and contact your local service to check for func-
tionality.
CAUTION:
Do not use the detector again, a corrupt detector can damage
the digitizer!
WARNING:
For mammography cassettes and plates or detectors (MM3.xR
and HM5.x) that are delivered with an IP Gain Calibration CD,
the IP gain calibration file has to be uploaded to the NX
workstation prior to use.
