“drops in” past the stop notch mechanism. The x-ray grid should remain in the table at all times
except when the table is being used for fluoroscopic purposes.
Radiographic Film Cassette Tray
The optional Radiographic Film Cassette Tray can be inserted or removed from either side of
the table. This tray will hold a 14" x 17" film lengthwise or crosswise between the four pegs in
the tray. Also provided with the tray is a small film cassette mask. This film cassette mask is
designed to hold a 10" x 12" film down at that perineal end of the table or for pediatric
retrograde pyelogram studies.
To insert the film into the tray, grasp the tray handle and lift upward approximately 1/4" and
extend the film tray out to the desired side of the table. Insert the film cassette into the tray
and push the film tray back into the body of the table until it drops in past the stop notch
mechanism.
To remove the cassette, grasp the tray handle and lift it up 1/4" before sliding it toward the
side of the table. It is not necessary to remove the tray to remove the cassette. There are holes
under the cassette tray. Push up under the tray to raise the cassette enough to grab it and
remove it from the table.

Charging the Battery
This table can be operated with the power cord connected to an outlet or by using the battery.
The battery recharges automatically while the table is plugged into an outlet even if the table is
being used. An optional wall-mounted battery charger is also available.
NOTE:
The table must remain plugged into an outlet when the battery is removed or
reinstalled. If the battery is removed for any reason while the table is not plugged into a
working outlet, the battery will discharge at a faster rate. Once the battery has been
reinstalled, and it has been verified that the table is operating, the power cord plug can be
removed from the outlet and operate on battery power.
