software console. The led beacon light lights up yellow.
• The image is acquired from the DR Detector and displayed in the
thumbnail.
• If collimation is applied, the image is automatically cropped at the
collimation borders.
• The actual X-ray exposure parameters are shown in the Image Detail pane.

CAUTION:
Excessive user or operator radiation exposure. Always keep a
distance of at least 2 meters from the focal spot and X-ray
beam, protect body and do not expose hands, arms or other
parts of the body to the primary beam.
WARNING:
During exposure ionizing radiation is emitted by the X-ray
system. To indicate the presence of ionizing radiation, the
radiation indicator on the control console lights up.
CAUTION:
Do not select another thumbnail until the preview image is
visible in the active thumbnail. The acquired image may be
linked to the wrong exposure.
