WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING
THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES MUST
ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED WHILE SERVICING THE X-RAY UNIT
IN ORDER TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE
UNIT.
CAUTION RADIATION SAFETY RULES
Some procedures described in this manual produce X-ray radiation.
Always follow the rules for radiation protection.
Never attempt to open the TUBE HEAD. It does not contain any
serviceable parts, and radiation safety can no longer be guaranteed.
Never take exposures without the filter or the beam limiting device
(collimator) in place. Otherwise the radiation safety cannot be
guaranteed.
CAUTION ELECTRICAL SAFETY RULES
The X-ray unit contains hazardous voltages. While servicing internal
parts, always disconnect the unit from the mains (if possible) by
removing the plug from the wall outlet, and wait for 2 minutes before
touching any electrical parts.
Always replace the fuses with those of the same type and rating.
Otherwise patient, operator or equipment safety cannot be
guaranteed.
The circuit boards can be damaged due to static discharges and
require careful handling.
Do not connect a multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) or an
extension cord to the system.
Do not connect items which are not specified as part of the system.
The X-ray unit must be connected to a dedicated, protectively
grounded power line (no other devices are connected to the same
power line).
If the X-ray unit is not connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS), disconnect the unit from mains during lightning storms.
