Operating the Machine
Start up
Log in
This step assumes that the cart has been parked and docked and has been plugged
into a wall socket to recharge the batteries.
1.
Carefully remove the power cord from the wall socket by holding the plug
housing and pulling it from the power outlet. Tug slightly on the cord and
slowly release it to start the rewind mechanism. Do not pull on the cord to
remove it from the wall.
2.
Touch the monitor screen on the cart assembly. The system “wakes up” and the
Logon screen is displayed.*
3.
To log in, either enter your user name and password on the display or swipe
your ID badge over the proximity reader. **
Note
The system can be operated while the operator is wearing standard hospital gloves.
Shut down
Log off
1.
When you have completed your exams, dock the arm and return the cart to its
parking/recharging location.
2.
Grab the plug at the cart and gently pull out enough of the power cord to place
the plug fully into an AC voltage wall socket without stretching or pulling on
the cord.
3.
After a predetermined time, the system automatically enters a screen saver
mode, power is cut to the monitor light, and you will be automatically logged
out.
Note
You will remain logged in until another radiographer logs in or until you are automatically
logged out by the system.
*If you swipe your badge while the monitor is still asleep, it will log you into the system
and wake up the monitor. In this case, there is no need to wake up the monitor in
order to log in.
**If you disconnect the power cable, it may wake up the monitor. In this case, there is
no need to touch the screen.
