Operating Instructions Orthophos SL 2D / 3D
CAUTION
Prematurely letting go of the release button cancels the exposure
immediately.
The exposure must be repeated.
➢ Take care not to let go of the exposure release button prematurely.
Press the release button until the end of the exposure. Note that
radiation may be released several times during an exposure cycle.
CAUTION
The exposure memory of the unit is cleared when the unit is switched
off.
Images that have not been transferred to Sidexis are irretrievably lost.
The exposure must be repeated.
➢ Wait until the exposure data have be completely transferred. Do not
switch the unit off before the X-ray exposure is displayed on the
Sidexis screen.
CAUTION
In the case of cephalometric exposures with right-handed arm, the
secondary diaphragm and sensor automatically return to the starting
position following exposure.
A patient who exits the unit too quickly risks injury from the moving parts.
➢ Be sure to explain the entire exposure procedure to the patient. The
patient may leave only after the exposure has been taken and the
secondary diaphragm and sensor have automatically returned from
the cephalometer.
ª
Ceph arm on right side: Scanning operation from rear to front – after
the exposure, the secondary diaphragm and the sensor move
automatically to the rear for the positioning of the next patient.
In the left-handed arm version: Scanning operation from front to
rear, secondary diaphragm and sensor remain at the rear in the
position required for positioning the next patient.
CAUTION
Pressing the R key moves the unit to the starting position.
A patient positioned in the unit may be injured by moving parts.
➢ Check that a patient is not positioned in the unit before moving it to
the starting position.
IMPORTANT
Prior to exposure, ensure that you have selected the correct exposure
program. Check the program display on the touchscreen and the
position of the sensor.
