3.0 Setup and Power Check

3.1 The Backscatter Shield

In addition to the radiation shielded cone, the backscatter shield provides additional
protection to the operator and can be adjusted to permit exposures made at various
angles.
Ideally, the shield should remain fully extended

to the outer edge of the cone, as close to the patient
as possible during each image taken (see
Radiation Safety).
You may find that the backscatter shield needs

to be adjusted to accommodate sensors or angled
exposures. If adjustments are needed, gently glide the
shield up or down along the cone using equal pressure
to maintain a perpendicular alignment and to avoid
binding.
To keep the shield securely on the cone, a cap is permanently attached at the

outer cone end. Do not attempt to remove this cap or to remove the backscatter shield.
Attempting to do so will result in damage to your device.

3.2 Attaching a Charged Handset

With the KaVo NOMAD PRO 2

placed bottom up on a secure surface,
properly orient and carefully slide the
charged handset onto the base of
the KaVo NOMAD PRO 2. (A properly
oriented handset should click into place
with firm pressure.)
The clicking sound ensures the

locking mechanism has secured the
KaVo NOMAD PRO 2 to the handset. To
verify this lock, apply slight pressure in
the release direction.
There are electric voltages present at the handset terminals. Protect the handset from
damage; do not probe with fingers or conductive objects.

3.3 Checking for Power

After locking a handset in place press the Power

The display panel will activate with a battery power level icon in the upper right

corner. Five bars is an indication of a fully charged handset.
