Demonstrating the unit without taking an exposure
30 Planmeca Proline XC Panoramic X-ray
Ask the patient to remove any spectacles, hearing
aids, dentures, and personal jewellery such as
earrings, necklaces, and hairpins.
Place a protective lead apron over the patient's back if
required.
NOTE Make sure that the Test mode has been
enabled on the Behavioural preferences
display before the demonstration.
When the Test mode function is enabled no radiation
is generated when you press the exposure button. The
C-arm will move normally but no radiation will be
generated and no radiation warning signals will be
given, i.e. this is a "dummy run" function for training
and demonstration purposes. For example, you might
want to demonstrate the C-arm movements before
taking exposures of children or nervous patients.
NOTE Disable the function after the demonstration.
