Common causes of leakage in the VOTI XR3D machine include:

1. Scattered radiation near the tunnel ends, which is normally contained by protective curtains.
2. Radiation escaping from the tunnel if the metal shrouds are damaged or missing.
3. System operating when safety conditions are not fully met, such as:
- Access panels not properly closed or locked.
- Operator not standing on the pressure-sensitive mat (if used).

These conditions can lead to improper containment of X-rays during operation.

To erase memory or reset storage on the VOTI XR3D, transfer files to an external storage device. The steps are:

1. Select the files to transfer.
2. Transfer them to the external device.
3. The files will be erased from the unit's hard drive after transfer.
4. A folder named Backup_Archive_Date_Time will appear on the external device.

This process clears storage while preserving data on an external device.
