Explanation
The rotation movement is stopped
because it reaches its rotation
limit.
- Max negative rotation is -165°
- Max positive rotation is +185°
Rotation movement is not allowed
because the Rotation device is
not operational.
Compression movement is
stopped because the lower posi-
tion of the paddle holder is
reached.
- You get this error when you per-
form a compression movement
without a paddle or with a paddle
for magnification mode without
the magnification platform
installed.
The system informs the operator
that the maximum force allowed is
reached.
A Gantry button was pressed dur-
ing the boot sequence while the
Gantry checked its devices. The
button that was pressed is not
functional until the next reboot.
To avoid pinching patient or oper-
ator body part between the paddle
(or paddle holder) and the face
shield (or tube head), the decom-
pression motion stopped as soon
as a negative force was detected.

1) Move the paddle holder up (press the compres-
sion release footswitch).
2) If you have the Bucky installed, perform com-
pression with a paddle intended for use in contact

A. To avoid problems during an exam, power
OFF/ON from the X-ray Console.
B. If this message occurs frequently, contact
GEMS Field Service.
1) Check if something is pressing on the paddle
that could prevent continuing or starting a com-
pression release movement.
A. If an object is stopping the movement, move
this object to allow motorized decompression.
B. If the patient is pressing on the paddle, try to
change her position to allow motorized decompres-
sion.
2) If error occurs again while space is free, use the
manual decompression.
3) If the problem persists, note ALL messages and
contact GEMS Field Service.
