Darken the room sufficiently so that you will be able to see the image of the radiation beam on
the alignment tool (it is fluorescent and will glow when the radiation beam strikes it), but not so
dark that you cannot see the borders of the alignment rectangle.
Protect yourself from radiation and press the exposure button. The beam image will appear
on the alignment tool. Observe the beam from behind the tube head.
CAUTION Radiation is generated when the exposure button is pressed. Take adequate protection
measures. Keep the exposure time as short as possible.
The beam image should appear within the borders of the rectangle marked on the alignment
tool (if the beam is not correctly aligned see section 2.4 "Radiation beam adjustment, Plan-
meca Proline XC Panoramic X-ray unit" on page E-16, or section 2.5 "Radiation beam adjust-
ment, Planmeca Proline XC Pan/Ceph X-ray unit" on page E-19).
