User's Manual (2D)
The exposure will be taken in two stages and the C-arm
will move twice. The teeth area is imaged during the first
exposure and the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) during
the second exposure. The C-arm is automatically moved
upwards between the exposures. You will hear a warning
tone when the C-arm moves up.
Press and hold down the exposure button for the duration
of both exposures.
NOTE Do not release the exposure button before the end of
the second exposure.
During the exposures the radiation warning light on the
exposure switch and on the display will come on and you
will hear a radiation warning tone.
When the C-arm has completed the second exposure
cycle the temple supports will automatically open. You
can now guide the patient from the unit.
When you have taken the exposure the image will be
shown on the computer screen. Note that you must
accept the image in the Planmeca Romexis program -
only accepted images will be stored in the database.
Refer to the Romexis User's Manual.
Autofocus adjusts the layer position automatically. The
function positions the image layer individually for each
patient based on the position and angle of the apices of
the upper central incisors.
The exposure will be taken in two stages and the C-arm
will move twice.
Press and hold down the exposure button for the duration
of the first exposure. The first exposure is a short, low-
dose exposure during which the optimal position for the
image layer will be calculated.
The radiation warning lights on the exposure switch and
on the control panel will come on and you will hear a
radiation warning tone.
