Manual exposure 

 
If the pre-set kV and mA pairs are not considered suitable for a specific exam, new parameters 
can be set in manual mode. 
To modify the kV or mA values, press any of the up or down cursors of the KV or mA parameters. 
A parameter can be modified by pressing the increase key and the decrease key of the parameter 
repeatedly. 
The kV value can vary between 60 and 86 kV, with 2 kV steps. 
The mA value can vary between 2 and 12.5 mA according to the R20 scale.
