Press and hold either of the height adjusting keys to
move the vertical carriage up or down so that the unit
can be adjusted to suit the height of the patient. Note
that the carriage will move slowly at first and then
accelerate. The speed at which the carriage starts to
move can be changed if required. Contact your dealer.
Press the child mode selector key when you are to
take an exposure of a child or a very small adult. The
indicator light will come on and the width of the
exposed area (the exposure time) is reduced slightly.
Press the temple support key to open or close the tem-
ple supports, depending on the original position. Note
that the temple supports will automatically close when
you press the Ready key and when an exposure cycle
is initiated. They will automatically open after an expo-
sure has been taken.
The focal trough positioning keys have two functions:
Press either key once to switch on the focal trough
positioning light.
Press and hold either key, when the focal trough posi-
tioning light is on, to move the patient positioning
mechanism backwards or forwards so that the
patient's teeth can be positioned within the focal
trough. The plus (+) key moves the patient backwards,
and the minus (-) key moves the patient forwards. The
number that appears on the display serves as a refer-
ence if you need to retake the exposure.
The kilovolt setting minus (-) key decreases the kilovolt
value and the plus (+) key increases it. The maximum
value is 80 kV and the minimum value is 60 kV.
