CAUTION
• Precautions when performing exposure in Aero Sync
mode
— Confirm that the image processing controller is ready
for exposure through its display before performing
exposure
— Confirm that a confirmation is sounded from the im-
age processing controller after the start of exposure.
— Do not let the DR Detector vibrate or receive shock
until the preview image is displayed.
— Confirm that the DR Detector's battery level is full be-
fore performing exposure.
— Use the system under the exposure condition con-
firmed prior to exposure.
• Please pay attention on the followings when using Aero
Storage and Aero Indicator:
— Ensure that the DR Detector LED display or Aero In-
dicator display indicates that it is ready for exposure,
before performing an exposure operation.
— If Aero Indicator experiences a connection failure,
check the DR Detector LED display before perform-
ing an exposure operation.
— After an exposure operation, do not give impact or
vibration to the DR Detector until the DR Detector
LED display or Aero Indicator display indicates that
the device is ready for exposure. In addition, if the
display cannot be verified, do not give shocks and/or
vibrations to the DR Detector for six (6) seconds after
an exposure operation
— Ensure that the battery level of the DR Detector is 10
% or more before performing an exposure operation.
— Note that the exposed image is not displayed in Aero
Indicator when the connection to the DR Detector is
disconnected
— When exposing images using Aero Indicator, check
the number of saved images on the DR Detector
information LED display, or ensure that the exposed
image is displayed in Aero Indicator.
— Do not give medical diagnoses using the images dis-
played in Aero Indicator
• If there are any radioactive substances remaining in the
patient's body after nuclear medicine testing or some
other reason, the AeroDR 2 Detector and AeroDR 3 De-
tector may recognize that X-rays were emitted and start
image transfer. When the image is transferred, change
the X-ray sensitive setting of the image processing con-
troller to "Large" before performing exposure.
• If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "Large" in the
AeroDR 2 Detector, make sure that all of the following
conditions are met before performing exposure. If you
perform exposure under other conditions, you may not
be able to get an image.
— On the DR Detector, set up an area (2 cm x 2 cm or
larger) on which the X-rays are emitted directly.
— Emit the X-rays onto the entire DR Detector.
— Emit the X-rays by using a tube current of 140 mA or
higher or a tube voltage of 90 kV or higher.
• If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "Large" or "Med"
in the AeroDR 3 Detector, make sure that all of the fol-
lowing conditions are met before performing exposure.
If you perform exposure under other conditions, you
may not be able to get an image.
— Emit the X-rays onto the entire DR Detector.
— Emit the X-rays by using a tube current of 140 mA or
higher or a tube voltage of 90 kV or higher.
• Set the maximum exposure time at the suitable expo-
sure time with the image processing controller when
performing exposure.
• When setting the maximum exposure time to 4.0, 6.7,
10.3, be sure to contact Konica Minolta technical repre-
sentatives.
• When the maximum exposure time of the AeroDR 3
Detector is set at 10.3, the interval between exposures
should be 2 minutes or longer. The following exposures
also require 2 minutes intervals.
• If you use Ethernet cables, please pay attention to the
following.
— If the power of this device is on, do not connect nor
remove the Ethernet cables.
— Install the cables so that you do not catch them on
your feet and so on
— Do not apply a load
— Use shielded Ethernet cables. However, for connec-
tions between AeroDR Interface Unit and AeroDR
Battery Charger or AeroDR Battery Charger2 and be-
tween AeroDR Interface Unit and access points, you
can use unshielded Ethernet cables.
— Communication speed is low or communication is
down, it is necessary to check the Ethernet cable
replacement. Contact Konica Minolta technical repre-
sentatives.
