Overview and General Description
Buttons and Indicator Lights
Power Button
Briefly press the power button on the front panel to start up or shut down the Odyssey® Sa
instrument. An indicator light in the power button blinks during the start-up or shut-down
procedure and is continuously on when the instrument is ready to operate.
Using the Power Button to Reset the Odyssey Sa Imager
The power button has another function beyond turning the instrument on or off. In the event that
the instrument becomes unresponsive, the instrument can be reset by pressing and holding in the
power button for five seconds. This procedure cuts power to the instrument and internal computer,
so it should only be used when communication cannot be established by any other means. Normal
operation should resume after the power button is pressed again to turn the instrument back on,
though start up may take several minutes.
Eject Button
Pressing the eject button extends or retracts the Odyssey Sa plate carrier. A protective door
automatically opens and closes as the plate carrier extends or retracts. This door protects the user
from exposure to laser radiation. Do not defeat the operation of this door.
