engineers. All of GE’s electrical work on these products will comply with the requirements of the
applicable electrical codes. The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel
(i.e., GE’s field engineers, personnel of third-party service companies with equivalent training, or

Important... X-Ray Protection
CAUTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein should
be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to
place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be
glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the
useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any
practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any
persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to radiation.
It is important that anyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully
acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont
