Caution: Be sure to use the detector on a flat surface so it will
not bend. Otherwise, the internal image sensor may be
damaged. Be sure to securely hold the detector while using it in
upright positions. Otherwise, the detector may fall over,
resulting in injury to the user or patient, or may flip over,
resulting in damage to the inner device.
Caution:
Should any of the following occur, immediately turn OFF the
power to each piece of equipment, unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet, and contact your sales representative or local
dealer:
• When there is smoke, an odd smell or abnormal sound
• When liquid has been spilled into the equipment or a metal
object has entered through an opening
• When the equipment has been dropped and is damaged
Caution: Observe great care when handling the DR Detector.
The detector is shock sensitive and drops should be avoided.
Warranty will be void if it is obvious that operating conditions
are not met.
Instruction:
If the DR Detector has been dropped:
1. Perform a calibration of the DR Detector. For instructions, refer
to the DX-D DR Detector Calibration Key User Manual
(document 0134).
2. Perform a flat field exposure and check the image for visible
artifacts. Typical flat field exposure settings are 75 kV, 10 µGy,
large focus and using 1.5 mm Cu filter without grid.
Caution: Damaged grid. Reduced image quality. Please handle
the grids with special care.
