NOTE Never allow patients to touch the display when they
are positioned in the X-ray unit. Touching the display
during exposure will stop the imaging process.
NOTE The contents of the control panel displays depend on
the configuration of the X-ray unit.
NOTE Refer to the User's Manual for 3D imaging for details
on information displays.
To make a selection on the control panel, simply touch a
text field or an icon with your finger or a soft stylus. You
will hear a signal tone when a field or an icon is activated.
NOTE Do not use sharp objects to operate the control panel.
You can set the X-ray unit so that the current time will be
shown at the bottom of the display. On information display
i210 you can choose in which format (e.g. 13:19) it will be
shown.
On information display i230 you can set the X-ray unit so
that the radiation dose will be shown in a pop-up window
after each exposure. The value shown on the display
indicates the highest radiation dose the patient was
exposed to during the exposure. Note that you will have to
accept the pop-up message by touching OK after each
exposure.
If you are using a Dimax sensor you can set the X-ray unit
so that a preview of the X-ray image will be shown on the
control panel after each 2D exposure (information display
i25.5).
The display will automatically switch to stand-by mode if
you do not touch the display or the exposure button for
more than thirty minutes. In stand-by mode the green
ready lights on the exposure button and control panel
indicate that the X-ray unit is switched on even though the
display is dark. The display will switch on as soon as you
touch it again.
NOTE The control panel display can be adjusted to respond
to your individual finger touch (information display
i25.4).
NOTE You can switch practice mode on if you wish to
practice or demonstrate the functions of the X-ray unit
without radiation (information display i410).
NOTE The exposure time indicated on the display (before an
exposure is taken) is an estimated value. The real
value is shown after the exposure. Variation in
exposure time is caused by mA automation.
