READY light will illuminate on the remote control when
the unit is ready for exposure.

Use either the hand-held/wall external exposure switch
or the exposure button on the remote control.

During the exposure, the yellow warning light will illuminate
and the beeper will be activated. These two actions will
stop when the exposure is completed or if the exposure
button is released prematurely. The exposure time display
will go blank during the exposure and will reflect the
elapsed time of the actual exposure afterwards.
NOTICE! When using the system in an extremely high
electromagnetic environment interferences may change
image quality. If interference appears, contact your KaVo
Dental dealer.

cone type is selected from program mode (see chapter 4).
