imaged first and the right side last.

is taken first and the photo last. You hear a fast ticking sound when
the photo is taken.
• Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid X-ray units:
If you take two vertical image volumes and a 3D face photo, the
photo is taken between the X-ray images. You hear a fast ticking
sound when the photo is taken and a warning tone when the C- arm
moves up.
• If you take two horizontal image volumes and a 3D face photo, the
photo is taken last. You hear a fast ticking sound when the photo is
taken.
NOTE

exposure. If the C-arm stops moving during exposure, or moves in an
erratic way, release the exposure button immediately.

function in the Planmeca Romexis program.
