3. Using the system
3.11 IP erasing mode (Initial erasing of the
IPs)
If an IP is being used for the very fi rst time
or has not been used for 24 hours and has
not been exposed to ambient light the eras-
ing procedure must be carried out before the
IP is used. The erasing procedure removes
any fogging due to background radiation.
The dedicated erasing mode erases the IP but
does not send the image (blank) to the den-
tal imaging software.
1. Press and hold down the Start key for
several seconds until the erase mode ani-
mation appears on the unit display. The
unit is now in the erase mode.
2. Hold the IP by its edges (or use a protec-
tive cover) and position it so that the side
with the metal disk (the back) is on the
right.
Insert the IP into the unit door (remove
the protective cover if used). A magnet
will hold the IP in position and then auto-
matically slide it into the unit.
NOTICE:
It may take longer to erase IPs using the
erasing mode than the normal read and
erase mode. This is to ensure that IPs that
have not been used recently are erased
properly.
3. After the IP has been erased it will be
ejected from the unit. The IP can now be
used to take an exposure.
4. To exit the erasing mode, either wait 15
seconds for the unit to automatically exit
the mode, or press and hold down the
Start key until the erase animation disap-
pears.
