Page: 12 / 109

Do not hold the head unit, chin rest, forehead pad, or joystick when lifting
the instrument. These components are detachable and the instrument
may drop, resulting in injuries.
Install the instrument in a location not subject to direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity, or air with significant dust, salt, and/or sulfur
content. These may cause failure or malfunction of the instrument.
Install the instrument in a level and stable location free of vibration and
mechanical impacts to ensure correct capturing, and prevent the
instrument from falling or being dropped, which can result in fire or fatal
accidents.
Install the instrument between the patient and physician so that they can
face with each other.
Install the instrument in a location that it is sufficiently clear of any other
equipment that may interfere with the examination when using the
instrument.
n
Precautions before using the instrument
Check that all cables are connected correctly and completely.
Check the sections that the patient will directly touch.
Peel off the top sheet of chin rest paper and clean the forehead pad with
a cloth dampened with alcohol before capturing.
Check that the instrument is correctly grounded.
Check that the date set in the instrument conforms to the actual operation
date and time.
When the room temperature lowers to 10°C or below in winter, turn the
instrument on and warm it up before starting operation. Low temperature
may affect the image quality.
n
Precautions during operation
Do not place any container with liquid in it on the instrument. Any liquid
entering the instrument may cause an electric shock or failure.
Do not operate the joy stick, touch panel, and membrane switch during
initial operation until the capture screen appears after turning the power
switch on. If the initial operation is not complete properly, malfunction may
occur during capturing.
If any smoke, offensive odor, or abnormal sound occurs, turn off the
instrument immediately, disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and
contact our local distributor or RODENSTOCK.
When moving the head unit and/or chin rest of the instrument, pay
attention to the position of the patient's face, hands, and fingers. The
patient may be injured by the moving section of the instrument.
