Basic Operation 4-3
Powering Up the System
Norland Bone Densitometers do not require any warm-up period before calibration or patient scanning. Norland
Technical Support recommends that the scanner system be left ON overnight and weekends. The scanner sys-
tem should be turned OFF if the system is to be inactive for an extended time (1 week or longer).
Norland STRONGLY recommends that the QA Calibration be performed daily prior to patient scanning as part
of a regular Quality Assurance Program.
The operator should follow these instructions to power up the Norland Bone Densitometer system after it has
been shut down.
IMPORTANT: The scanner MUST be turned on BEFORE entering the IlluminatusDXA software for
proper operation.
