Releasing the exposure

The exposure can be released using the release button on the spiral
cable or the remote control. If the unit is installed in an X-ray room, which
features a door edge, and the line of sight towards the patient is
guaranteed, the exposure is to be released via the remote release, see
"Using remote release" [ → 81].
The unit emits X-ray radiation.
Excess exposure to X-rays is detrimental to health.
➢ Use the prescribed accessories for radiation protection.
➢ Do not stay in the X-ray room during exposure. Move as far away
from the unit as the coiled cable for the release button allows you to.
The movement of the system may be adversely affected by the patient's
physical constitution, clothing, or dressings, or by wheelchairs or
hospital beds.
The exposure is automatically terminated if the movement of the unit is
inhibited. The exposure must be repeated.
➢ Ensure that the movement of the unit is not impaired when
positioning the patient. Before the exposure, perform a test cycle
using the T key.
The program enters test cycle mode. The LED above the T key
lights up. Only the exposure program number appears on the
digital display. None of the LEDs above the patient symbol keys
light up.
The test cycle is started.
The program exits test cycle mode.
