Why does our pro style intra change exposure time setting after every exposure?

The Planmeca Intra X-ray unit retains the selected exposure parameters after an exposure until the user changes them or the unit is switched off. However, the unit automatically returns to the time adjustment mode after 5 seconds if kV, mA, or exposure time is adjusted. Additionally, the waiting time between exposures is 15 times the exposure time, with a minimum of 6 seconds. This ensures proper operation and safety by preventing rapid consecutive exposures.
