• Checking exposure time, DAP and CTDI values:
The estimated values for exposure time, DAP (Dose
Area Product) and CTDI (Computed Tomography
Dose Index) are shown with black text on the touch
screen before you take an exposure. The actual
values are shown with green text after the exposure.
• About stand-by mode:
The screen will automatically switch to stand-by mode
if you do not touch the screen or the exposure button
for more than thirty minutes. In stand-by mode the
green light on the exposure button indicates that the X-
ray unit is switched on even though the screen is dark.
The screen will switch on as soon as you touch it
again.
• Selecting demo mode:
You can switch demo mode on if you wish to practice
or demonstrate the functions of the X-ray unit without
radiation (Settings > User > 1300 Operational settings
> 1310 Use Mode > 1311 Set Demo Mode).
NOTE Never allow patients to press the positioning controls
when they are positioned in the X-ray unit.
NOTE Pressing any of the positioning controls (button or
joystick) will switch the patient positioning lights on.
The lights will automatically switch off after two
minutes. To switch them off earlier, press the
positioning joystick.
