fection solutions.
The bite piece of the chin rest can be removed and autoclaved. It can also be cleaned with
alcohol-based solutions. The patient support handles can be cleaned with alcohol-based

Exposure indicators
Confirm that the exposure indicator appears on the Graphic user interface and that the expo-
sure indicator light turn on in the remote exposure switch for the length of the exposure.
Exposure warning signal
Confirm that the buzzer comes on for the length of the exposure. If needed, adjust the tone of
the signal, see section “Sound tone” on page B-5.
