DT-703 OPERATOR’S MANUAL ADVISORY SYMBOLS The following advisory symbols are used throughout this manual. Their application and meaning are described below. WARNING Warning symbol indicates a potential hazard that may expose operators, service personnel and patients to serious injury, or radiation exposure.
Page 7
Radiation Safety Precautions DT-703 Portable Dental X-ray System is safe and unlikely to result in any side effects when used properly. The amount of radiation is very low, However, young children and pregnant women are more susceptible to the effects of ionizing radiation. In these cases, exposures should only be taken when the benefit of the diagnostic exam outweighs the risk of radiation exposure.
