3.2 Set Up 3. Open X800 Exposure window Click the X800 Exposure Window icon (C). When the window opens, an exposure can be made. • When a patient is selected with i-Dixel WEB, the patient name appears on the title bar for the X800 Exposure Window. Before making the exposure, make sure the name on the title bar is the name of the patient subject to the exposure.

Release the Emergency Stop switch, and then turn on the unit. When starting up the Veraview X800 right after turning it off (e.g., rebooting the equipment), wait at least 5 seconds to turn it on again. Failure to do so could result in malfunction or damage to the equipment.
3 Before and After Use Start-up Inspection Before use make a start-up inspection to make sure the unit will operate properly and safely. 1. Open the image list for the start-up inspection Select the test patient used for the start-up inspection from the i-Dixel WEB patient list and display the image list for it.
• Do not fail to turn off the Power switch. This prevents the risk of current leakage, inad- vertent operation, etc. When starting up the Veraview X800 right after turning it off (e.g., rebooting the equip- ment), wait at least 5 seconds to turn it on again. Failure to do so could result in mal- function or damage to the equipment.

* If the user is unable to inspect the instrument himself or if the instrument fails to work properly after being adjusted or after parts are replaced, contact your local dealer or J. MORITA OFFICE. * The inside parts of the equipment are charged with high voltage. Do not attempt to perform mainte- nance or adjustment that is not described in the troubleshooting table.
